Me and neighborhood safety
The picture below is my house with a dot and a curve. The road is 30 mph and the curve is clearly not a 30 mph curve.
I have a radar gun and often sit on the curve and gun cars. Most are good. Some are not. A guy stopped today and told me not to radar him. Was an ass about it. Said he was gong to take the curve at 30 because it was the speed limit. Had a discussion. I was as nice as I could and asked him to just be slower when he was driving through. He was still an ass. Had another resident claim it was harassment Am I wrong to do this? We have 20 kids in the lots visible and more will be on the way. All lots have houses now. To add humor-I could be this woman http://jalopnik.com/this-lady-who-us...hon-1795891135 I am going to the city to talk about options. |

End point. Ask the city to put in another stop sign at the corner to the top of the map and then make the curve 20 mph and post a sign. It does not hurt to ask.

Talk to your councilman/councilwoman about this issue
Then, talk to the traffic safety engineer IF a driver is within the posted speed limit then they are fine. IF you are on your own property then you do have the right to do this, BUT he also as the right to tell where to stick you're radar gun. DO NOT stand on someone else's property or in the public right-of-way and do this. Personally I'd be annoyed if my neighbor was doing this. By the way, throwing a blowup doll into the street as someone rounds the curve is not a good idea, although I have thought of that in front of the speedway in front of my house

How is that in any way a blind corner? Your house sits back from the corner, there are zero trees to block anyone's view, and the speed limit is still only 30 MPH. There isn't a driver in the world, with the exception of Stevie Wonder, who can't see around that corner.
Stop being an insufferable douchebag and mind your own ****ing business. |

Get a written statement from the engineer that the corner is unsafe and then take that to your city rep or city council meeting and show them that you have proof that it's a liability to the city if someone gets hurt and all of your neighbors know about it.

Forget the City Council. They will just laugh at you.
What are they supposed to do? Put up a sign around every residential corner? Every DB that lives on a corner will want a advisory speed sign around their house because of you. Make better use of your summer time and leave your neighbors the hell alone. |

Besides, what does tracking their speed even do? You can't do anything about it. I guess you could complain to the police and ask them to send out a traffic monitor to maybe write some tickets or something... |

Give me the GPS coordinates.
I wanna try that curve on my Motorcycle at 90. Hopefully you can verify by radar I reached my goal. |

That kind of crap gets you labeled as the neighborhood douche. You're not accomplishing anything except making people hate you. Some are probably taking that corner faster now, just to piss you off. You're probably making things worse...
