Description
Request the speed limit on Hobbs Road SW, from the Redstone Arsenal Gate 3 to the Intersection of Hobbs Road SW and Bell Road SW, be reduced to 35 MPH and/or some other action be taken to make it safer for all the residents who live in the neighborhoods along Hobbs Road to enter and exit their neighborhoods and utilize the sidewalks with their families. Cars leaving and entering Redstone Arsenal, via Gate 3 and road racers, during evenings and weekends, routinely exceed the posted speed limit. Additionally, the posted speed limit is already too high considering the number of neighborhoods along Hobbs Road SW.

Total agreement with aforementioned.
Hobbs road between Redstone Road and the Parkway has turned into complete madness with speeding, excessively loud mufflers (or no mufflers) along with TRUCKING. Since the development of Hays Farm Hobbs road is used as a trucking route. Some trucks are estimated at
60 mph. I don’t think this portion of Hobbs Road was designed for a commercial heavy truck route, and as a result will be a nuisance for the homes along the road, not to mention the premature wear on the road surface. Trucking should be confined to use of memorial parkway, instead of residential neighborhoods.
HPD should police this roadway for speeding, noise, and commercial trucking.
Someone (pedestrians and motorists) will be killed or injured badly if this continues.
Come on Huntsville city and HPD… take care of your residents before commercial interests.

Please provide some sort of explanation for your comment "The current speed limit is what will remain..".
The speed limit used to be 35 mph as this are is designated as R1, not commercial.
The posted speed limit is entirely unsafe for residential traffic, unless this are has been designated as commercial. Is this area designated for commercial trucking?
