Description

Federal St. has increasing become a convenient 'cut-through' street for traffic turning off of North St. It occurs all hours of the day & night. The majority of the drivers are speeding.
Because it is a one way street, people fly down the street, then have to quickly 'put on the brake's' at Beckford St, because they aren't expecting the Stop sign there. It is extremely dangerous. Just this morning, several pick-up trucks & cars have run the Stop sign. Beyond exceeding the speed limit for a residential neighborhood, many also are playing decibel-breaking music.
We would hope the Salem police can check out the speeding problem on the street & do something to eradicate it. It's come to a point where speed bumps may be needed to help correct this issue -- before someone gets seriously hurt or worse.
