I think you missed the point!! She is saying people fly down the street! Almost hitting her and her children! I don't care if the speed limit is 25 or 40 it is still too fast!! When people are present slow DOWN!! maybe it should be a hot spot for our local police to watch. Don't let it be too late when something bad happens and a family will be forever changed!!!

You're right Bob, I don't have a radar gun so I have to rely on my own perceptions. However, when a car takes a corner and is almost up on 2 wheels (no joking here) I'm pretty sure they're going 40+. The speed limit is 25, it's people NOT obeying the limits (especially while children are present) that concerns me. I shouldn't have to worry every time I walk down the sidewalk about a car actually hitting me or my children.

You are joking. Traffic flows at 25-30mph in that stretch of stillwater, yet the claim is that the speeds vastly increase before making the turn?

Bob, I would quicker guess that someone was texting on the phone than speeding. Running up on the sidewalk is indicative of, at least, inattentiveness, and at worst, incompetence!

Tara, A 25 mile per hour speed limit is the norm in residential areas, and is the speed limit in any residential area by default (if there are no signs posted). People should not be exceeding any speed limits, but enforcing that is like keeping the horses from going back into a burning barn! We have a bad driving problem in the entire country, not just on Grove Street.

People go over the speed limits
Some people drive way under the speed limits for no apparent reason (If they were being tested, they would flunk for driving too slowly!)
They don't signal
They run red lights
They don't yield the right of way when they're supposed to
They don't even know proper lane discipline (keep to the right, except to pass or turn left), let alone follow it!
They don't yield to pedestrians in crosswalks
And, this past week has proven that they don't even have sense enough to yield to trains!

We don't require drivers' education for anyone over 18 in this state, and I think that is half the problem.
