Residential Speeding

2fast4u writes " My wife and I have lived on Haven Ave for six years and have watched the 25 mph, residential speed limit broken so many times that we lost count. A stop sign was put up at the intersection of Hunt and Haven this past June, hoping to slow the traffic down a bit, but most people have ignored that too.

In May, I borrowed a friends JUGS speed gun and in a one hour time span I recorded the speeds of 33 vehicles going north and south on my street. Of the 33, 26 were going over the residential speed limit of 25 mph, with a high speed of 49 mph. The 7 other vehicles were at or below the legal speed limit. I have often wondered what it will take to slow these vehicles down, North Precinct has been contacted, but as usual I get the we don't have the man-power to police the neighborhood at the present time other than an occasional drive thru. Maybe the serious injury to a child or an adult will make them take notice."
