a black lexus continues to speed through sherwood oaks on allendale towards winslow. four times now this vehicle has tailgated then passed me on this neighborhood street. license plate number 218CAZ. the car drives through between 7:35am and 7:50am when I'm driving my daughter to school.
Drivers turning old 37 into race track. The attached image of the license plate and black Ford Focus. This guy was racing Two motor cycles on old 37 on Sunday April 23rd at noon. Passed me by Monroe/Morgan State Forest on a double yellow going at lest 60-70mph. I caught up to him at the entrance onto highway 37/i69. Then in all of his genius he went to an egg Mcmuffin emergency at McDonald's in Martinsville..
For the past couple weeks I've observed the same Domino's delivery driver driving southbound on Washington at a fairly high rate of speed between 12 and 10th street. I suspect he cuts west through the alley between 9th and 10th to return to the Domino's location. Can something be done to slow this guy down? This is happening in the evening and nighttime hours.

Another mailbox was hit on Allendale Dr. in Sherwood Oaks neighborhood near the corner of Allendale and Dunstan. This is the 2nd time this mailbox has been hit by a distracted driver in the last month. I live on the corner of Allendale and Dunstan and have witnessed countless drivers fly through the stop sign. This is also a city bus stop as well as my child's school bus stop. I am now in fear of letting my children use the sidewalk to walk to the little library, the park, and friend's homes. We shouldn't have to worry about this in our neighborhood. Many kids, adults, and pets use these sidewalks every day and shouldn't feel scared or worried that they are in danger. My neighbors dog was hit and killed last year at this 4 way stop. Let's do something before another pet or person gets hurt.
All Stop signs and speed limit signs on Henderson St., from Miller Dr. to 1st Street seem to be invisible because no one ever heeds them. I would think Police presence would help, but perhaps public works could do something to convince motorists that this is not a major, high speed artery. We have a school, a park, and many pedestrians. Yesterday (4/8/13) I saw a car, traveling 40-50 mph, narrowly miss a college student at the bus stop by Blacks Lumber. Also two children have been hit in the Templeton School zone this year. This is a problem.
On 10th St during the rush hours, drivers going straight will often swerve into the right turn lanes to go around drivers who are turning left and waiting for a break in the traffic. This is dangerous and I had an close call once when I was going to turn right onto Pete Ellis and a driver in the straight/left turn lane swerved into my lane to get around the car in front of them. This is also dangerous since a driver turning left doesn't expect oncoming vehicles in the right turn lane to go straight. I'd recommend a traffic officer be present during the rush hours one day to ticket people who do this so people realize that this is not acceptable. Thanks for listening!
Speeding on Winston Street, Hyde Park Cars just zoom down the hill from Winston to Sare Road. Can the speed limit be enforced? There are small children who play in this neighborhood.
Increased traffic patrol by officers in the North Maple area would be greatly appreciated, for a couple reasons: 1) In the N Maple/15th St area, there is a motorcyclist who loiters and frequents the area between the hours of 7-11, off and on, who speeds/squeals his tires up and down the street, revs his engine, and drives recklessly, seemingly for fun. This has been an ongoing issue for months, but recently has become an every day occurrence. It's currently happening right now, 7:50pm on a Wednesday, and woke me up from a dead sleep at 10:30pm on Monday. Aside from the loud, incessant noise polution, his reckless driving is going to eventually cause damage to life or property. 2) At the intersection of Maple and 11th, there is a three way stop that half the people in this neighborhood completely ignore. I've had more than one close call there during my morning commute. People tend to roll through the stop sign, and only slightly hesitate, in an attempt to beat out whoever is coming the other way. Aside from being rude, it's super dangerous. Please assist with these issues. It's become very nerve-wracking to live in this neighborhood lately because of inconsiderate drivers/bikers. I was hoping it would go away after school let out, but it appears to be a townie issue.
