Speeding in My Neighborhood
Most of the time when I stick my head out the window or walk out the door, I see people speeding through my neighborhood. It gets really annoying. I’ve been living here for almost three years. It was a newly built neighborhood, when I first moved there. Since the day I moved there, cars have been speeding like crazy in my neighborhood. There are at least three to five cars speeding through every fifteen minute anytime from 11 am to 8 pm. The speed limit in my neighborhood is 15 mph (miles per hour) and most of the people that drive by speeds like 30-50 mph.So far, seven accidents have happened. Out of the six accidents, I witnessed three. The first one happened at the “T” intersection where I lived in front of. One car is going straight and the other one was turning left. The one turning left was going like 30-35 mph without looking and rammed right into the right side back fender of the car that was going straight. The second occurred at the same intersection. Some guy was going straight and making a right turn while going like 40 mph and he hit a parked car which happened to park in front of my house and is a friend of mines. He hit the left side of the car and bended the frame so
I think one of my neighbors beat me on to call the local City Hall. The City Hall had a CHP (California Highway Patrol) Officer come out with a trailer that shows how fast an object is when passing through the trailer. Din told me what the trailer does is to capture the speed that is over the speed limit. My online buddies, at ClubSi.com, told me the same thing Din told me. They also said if the trailer captures a lot of speed that is over the speed limit, they usually send a police officer out to my neighborhood to patrol the area. What happens is when every car that sees the trailer, they slows down to the speed limit. After a CHP Officer towed the trailer out of my neighborhood, I never had seen any police officer patrolling my neighborhood. I guess the trailer didn’t help, so I guest the best way is for the City Hall to actually come out and see it themselves. Awhile back, I and my cousin, Chris, who lives two blocks from me, wrote the word “STOP,” at the “T” intersection with some white chalk, hoping people would stop, but it didn’t worked. We hated the speeding so much we were thinking of all the illegal ways to stop them. We thought of putting nails and or throw some woods out on the street, but before doing it, we thought it might be unfair for the safe drivers that obey the speed limit. The only legal way I can think of is to put stop signs and speed bumps but I don’t where or who to ask. Putting stop signs and speed bump will really help slowing the speedy people down. I tried searching on the internet to look for information on how to put stop signs and
