Slow down, this is a neighborhood!
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Here’s a subdivision dilemma: What to do about those residents that simply drive too fast in and around the streets and cul-de-sacs in the neighborhood. Well… those of us who live in my subdivision got this e-mail from the homeowner’s association this week. Read on:
Dear Homeowners,
It has been brought to our attention that people are driving too fast and not staying on their side of the road within the community. This poses a threat to other drivers as well as the safety of those walking or young children playing in the subdivision. Please remember to drive cautiously and maintain the speed limit.
Also, if you have teenage drivers, please remind them to drive cautiously as well. Your concern and attention toward this matter is greatly appreciated.
Really, what can you do about people who simply put way too much metal to the pedal? Let’s face it, unless they get caught (not likely within the confines of a subdivision) by a cop, they will continue to speed.
At least that’s my opinion. I don’t really know if you can do anything about people that drive too fast, whether it’s in a subdivision or on the city streets. Maybe speed bumps would help. Then again, they just might make it more fun to fly over them at break neck speed.
Do you have well known speeders in your neighborhood? Has anyone ever stopped them on the street and told them to slow down? What’s a homeowner to do? Any ideas?
