Fall is now is here!

More children are playing outside now.  It is getting darker earlier and it is hard for them to see over the vehicles parked on the street. Still, we have noticed too many cars driving too fast through the neighborhood - please watch your speed through the neighborhood and let your family members and kids home from college know to keep the speed down

According to a study in Ireland by the National Roads Authority, 68% of motorists speed on residential roads.  The average speed of cars on roads in 30 mph zones is 45 mph.  At these speeds a pedestrian struck by a car has less that a one in ten chance of survival.  Our speed limit is 25 mph.
