Description
There are no speed limit signs on the lower half of Dawson Ave near the most dangerous part of the hill. People are constantly traveling at excessive rates of speed both up and down the hill. Can't ticket someone if they don't know what the speed limit is there and/or it's not clearly posted.

Speed limit signs don't slow people down. That's been a fact which has been pointed out for years and years.
It's also a known fact that it's 25 mph unless otherwise posted. So, you don't need to plague the city with signs that people aren't going to follow anyway.

"Plague the city with signs"? Seriously? Asking for one speed limit sign in the neighborhood in which I pay possibly the highest property taxes in the state of connectictut is considered a "plague"?
What does slow people down then? A cop sitting posted at the top or bottom of the hill? One of those big flashing speed limit signs that everyone blasts by anyway ( as you pointed out). Someone getting hurt or killed? People run up that hill, walk their dogs on that hill, take their children for walks on that hill. It's dangerous, and it's the same people doing it every single day.
I can always just call the police department with license plate numbers of all the people that repeatedly speed up and down the street where it's a "known fact that it's 25 MPH". Maybe that's a better use of tax payer money? I'm just trying to be part of the solution before somone really gets hurt. Please feel free to share a better one.
