Our wee little hamlet has way too many people coming along Erin/Garafraxa townline, not behaving themselves with speeding. So many times I have called the OPP, because of 1 main time of speeding motorists between 6a – 7a. OPP claim that is their time shift change, well, perhaps they should adjust their time of change so as they can catch these speeders.
Just today [July 9th] we saw a compact car speeding past a pick up just in front of our driveway, around 12 noon. The speed of 50km runs for about 1.5km on our townline, these folks can’t slow down for that amount of time?
There is also a school bus company [First Student] has 2 bus drivers speeding through here too in the afternoon. There is not no need for that. They are professional drivers.
I would like to see speed humps put in [just like the ones in Belfountain and Alton],a LARGER paint sign of SLOW [you must miss them too…they are only about 1.5′ in height at either end of the 50km. The SLOW signs on the road in Belfountain must be at least 4feet high, you can’t miss them.
The amount of semi-trailers coming down our road. Why? So they don’t have to travel through Marsville where it is 50km and monitored by OPP alot more and these truckers know it! Then tonight around 7:30p 3 huge gravel trucks came speeding through town.
What is it is going to take? An family animal, an adult or even sadder a Child killed before something is done?
Thanks
