Slow down in neighborhoods, generally, but especially slow down in neighborhoods that are crawling with children on bikes, children in yards, people walking dogs, people jogging.  And tell your teenagers to do the same.I've officially turned into my father and I want to yell and shake my fist at the jerks who go around the corner too fast.  And of course, they don't see me, hear me, or give a ****. 4951

Request your street and subdivision install speed bumps.  That will take care of the problem and you won't become your father.
 
@Stealth83: I hate to see residents being forced to take action like installing speed bumps. That's like being forced to induce common sense. What's more tragic is the fact that most of the people doing the speeding and rude driving are too arrogant to realize this thread is actually about them.

It's amazing how many people speed theu school zones AND play with their phones. I have to cross the kids at the Elementary school and at least once a week when I slowly walk out with my stop sign up someone will almost run me over. 4951

@Stealth83: My dad was part of a very vocal group that got speed bumps put in on his street a while back - so unfortunately, your plan still has me becoming my father.  Heh.But yes, I'd love speed bumps. Going to look into that.

@Weathergirl5: My wife worked at an elementary school and had to do crossing duties. The stories she told about people even running over the little slow down sign while yapping on the cell phone...I told her to always wear something bright  now matter how ugly lol

I live right behind one of the elementary schools, and a couple doors down from the greenbelt entrance that so many of the kiddos use.  People speed down my street so often I can't believe non of them have been hit yet.  Right up the street there is a second greenbelt entrance and at a certain time of the year you are blinded by the sun in the morning. I have had some jackass actually pass me in the neighborhood when I was doing the speed limit.  I hate it because I get tailgated all the time along that street like I'm just poking along.  I'm not a slow driver, not away from the kids anyway. 4951

It's so funny to see this thread.  I literally want to pull people out of their car and beat them.  I would say 8/10 cars don't stop at the stop signs in our neighborhood and 9/10 go above 35.  I wish more of you lived in my neighborhood! Emoticon 4951
