There is a vehicle parked on West Habitat Street at 304 N Hopewell that is up on blocks with the rear wheels removed.
Traffic along 1st and 2nd Streets and Henderson continues to increase in volume, speed, and non-compliance with stop signs. This is especially evident during morning and afternoon rush hours. Drivers have found they can cross town faster by cutting through core neighborhoods and ignoring traffic laws, than using major thoroughfares. Increased police presence would likely get these cars back on major roads. It is important the city realizes that it is the breaking of traffic laws that is making this traffic pattern desirable for drivers. I live at 1st and Henderson and less than 50% of cars come to a complete stop at this intersection.
Speeding gray pickup truck, license OKV465 (not sure what state). Squealing tires, high rates of speed.
We moved into a new house recently and there is a car parked in front of it on the street. It has been there for months, since we first looked at the house in March. The windows are partly open and the hood is slightly open. It looks to be abandoned. It is in front of our house, which is annoying, but it also jams up the traffic a little bit because it is very close to the entrance to a busy street. Can I have it towed away? We live on S. Highland Avenue just off Hillside. The car is a forest green dodge convertible, I think. I have tried to knock on the neighbor's door to see if they know whose it is but haven't been able to catch them at home, I don't know them otherwise.
Unsafe speeds by motorists. Very hard to see when getting on to Walnut from Dillman. N and S bound traffic travelling at excessive speeds.
Traffic flow and people blowing stop signs.
Speed limit enforcement on E. Winston Street. Posted speed limit is 25mph, but cars do not respect this speed limit, especially when traveling down hill at Winston and Sare Rd intersection. Please enforce the speed limit. We have several small children in this area. Maybe a sign that says "Drive like your children live here"?
A significant portion of people traveling north or south on High St do not come close to a complete stop at E. Arden Dr.. Some blow it off, some seem surprised or forgot the stop is there and the rest are making the case for changing the name from "California stop" to "Hoosier stop". This stop may be technically outside of the school zone but kids do walk/ride to school along that stretch of road.
This is a kind of add-on to case #170346 - I didn't know any other way to do it. I was watching today, and the biggest speeders were Crider dump trucks. They were absolutely flying down that section of street. With that amount of weight, it's even more dangerous than the cars.
