Their is a comunity park and lake with two beaches on this road along with peoples driveways. Lots of curves,limited sight hills with no signs at all. I look at other neighborhood streets with the same type of roads and they have speed breakdown zones limited sight and driveway signs to control traffic .People try to run us over going in and out of our own DRIVEWAYS! Something has to happen or something BAD will.

speed limit really should be 45 mph in this area! if driveway signs were installed there'd be one every 20 ft. ...really? driveways are on a MAIN RD not a neighborhood street!

This is a residental rd. Know what your talkin about first and if you dont live on it tend to your own TUKY.

exactly! that is why this road is 25mph because its RESIDENTIAL.... huh?

Elizabeth lake rd is 40 and 45 MPH ! DUH

right! that is why its not residential BECAUSE its 40 and 45! thank you!

Wrong houses driveways and park's make it RESIDENTIAL and you must be one of the thoughtless people who drive this road speeding to get to your quite safe street. Me and my neighbors pay taxes to have the same! Thank that. no further response to SILLY COMMENTS that caint at least make sense!

Actually the road is designated as a county primary road. "Residential" typically refers to roads designated as local or sub-local, which are generally subdivision roads. Functionally, this is considered a major cross-county road, not a residential street. The fact that there are houses along the road does change the functional classification. Many major roads have residential property abutting them, but they remain main roads.

Thats good to know but that was not my issue others brought that conversation up . My concern is the particular piece of this road that I marked has a curve that has a slight hill that does not allow you to see 10 to 15 feet ahead of you and deep curves with a community park in the same vacinity. This should be a area that the speed limit shoul be broken down to at least 25 or 30 mph MAX. p.s. I am part of the ROC family

RT: Thanks for the clarification. Your concerns have been forwarded to the RCOC Traffic-Safety Dept.

Road Commission

Thanks for your response.

RT: Here's the response from our pals in Traffic-Safety:

The speed limit posted for this section of Elizabeth Lake Road is 40 MPH in accordance with the 1975 MSP Traffic Control Order. There are curve warning signs posted for the area in question. When the travel speed of the curve was investigated, it could be safely traveled at the posted speed and no advisory speed was required. Review of the crash history does not indicate an issue with the location. A field investigation has determined that additional signs are not needed.

Last night somebody was speeding trough this street @ 3-4:00 am and skidded off the street going so fast lost control and ran over two mail boxes tore up my neighbors grass. Thats not due to the speed limit set too HIGH of course. I guess we still will have to wait til someone is KILLED. Thanks

So, if they were speeding -- already disregarding the existing speed limit, and already driving recklessly, what makes you think changing the speed limit would have any impact on their behavior?

Why in the world is so many people WORRIED or dont want the limit to be lowered in one small two block area.This is rediculously STUPID their is never a traffic jam in this area nor would changing this one area cause one. More importantly you dont live in front of this area evidently so WHAT you dont care. comment on something in front of your house. This site is to address problems YOU DEAL WITH ! not critique others ! You talk about a issue you deal with so I can tell you SO WHAT ! GET SOME bussiness OF YOUR OWN OBSERVER . Thats the problem to many want to stand back criticize and not stand up and be CONSTRUCTIVE ! im FOR THE SAFTY OF MY FAMILY AND NEIGHBORS. What the hell are you ABOUT !
