As a person who lives in this neighborhood and as a parent, I find it highly inappropriate that people use this as a "highway". How would you like it if I came to your neighborhood and did 40mph while your children were outside playing? I doubt you would like that. Please think of me every time you use this road, and slow down. Better yet, don't come this way!!

Reality check: You moved to a neighborhood that has an access point for two major roads. You're naive and/or foolish to think that traffic would not use this route.
