Description
There is no speed limit sign coming UP Blithewood Ave from Grafton Street. There IS a speed limit (20MPH) as well as SHARP CURVE signs posted coming DOWN Blithewood Ave, but nothing coming up.
This is very dangerous corner for all residents trying to exit (left of right) from Oakwood Lane. Cars fly up the hill on Blithewood Ave, well past the speed limit & due to the sharp curve, there is a blind spot which is creating a very dangerous situation. It is only a matter of time before there is a very serious accident at this spot. We are formerly requesting the City / DPW / Police review this corner, speeds, and signage for the safety of the residents and guests of Oakwood Lane.

It is very dangerous pulling out of Oakwood Lane onto Blithewood Ave due to cars speeding up the hill.
This is a very reasonable request to put a speed limit sign going UP Blithewood Ave. at this curve and installed sooner rather than later. There have been near-accidents.

before exiting onto Blithewood Avenue. If you do NOT do this, & instead look to the right last,
when you then proceed onto Blithewood, you'll be startled by another vehicle flying right at you, having just flown around the curve, with no knowledge of your predicament. The driver of that vehicle will then lean on their horn, blaming you for trying to cause an accident.
How about a sign ahead of the curve, "Slow, Blind Exit"?
