I live in the 6000 block of Murrayville Road with my family. True, the posted speed limit is 45, but more often than not, people are going 50 or even 60 miles an hour. The straightaway in front of my house is more like a drag strip. I would like to see the speed limit lowered or speeding tickets issued or an increased police presence due to the proximity of Murrayville Elementary. There is never a time when people do the speed limit. They are either late to work, or in a hurry to get home, or think that because it is 2 in the afternoon, that no one will mind if they speed past my house. How many more fatalities does it take to get someone's attention that speeding is a large problem on this road? Furthermore, tailgating is a huge problem too. I live on this road and I DO the speed limit. Those folks who think they are driving the "Murrayville Speedway" are frequently tailgating because they think I am the one who is going too slow. Then, at the red light at North College Road, they tell me I am number one! I would like to extend a special hello to the person who shotguns out of Clewis Road in his green full size pickup truck every morning at about 6:30 and proceeds like there is no bottom to his accelerator pedal.

Thank you for all those who have responded. If you would like to get uptodate on my correspondance to our local officials. Email me at brandonadams@seacoastrealty.com and I will forward you what I have. This problem will not go away or be resolved until we all join together as a community.

Please forward this on to those affected. The more folks who sign on the better. Let us know why you would like something done about the speeding. Personal experiences etc.

Thank you!
