The so-called traffic engineers have gone absolutely crazy. Firstly they set speed limits too high, and then police to not enforce those limits.
Around here they changed the speed in school zones from 15 to 25 mph. That is 3 car lengths per second and it is impossible for any car to stop if a child runs out into the street which they do looking for their parents after school. And if 25 mph wasn't
already too fast, they actually drive over 35 mph and run stop signs. I was hit by some lame brain woman in a school zone and have never recovered from it. So I am really careful now though I don't see how I could have avoided that since I took every
precaution. What did that woman tell the cops? "He came out of nowhere!" Uh, yeah, only across five lanes of traffic who all saw me and gave me right-of-way.
