The main drag through town, pictured here, is 25mph. Stepping down from 55mph on both ends.

This place would be perfect for a  speed-trap town. But can't recall the last time I saw someone being ticketed.
Kind of wish they'd start - as j walking is very very common here😊

We live just 50m inside a 30mph zone dropping from 60 and lose count of the number of vehicles tearing past at 50+!  Where’s a cop when you want one?

I live on a quiet residential street. We still have a couple of young bucks that think it's there drag strip.  When I get annoyed with them I think back to when I was young doing the same thing.

In fact my football coach/ gym teacher use to call me the terror of 77. ( for hwy 77 I lived close to). 

In parts 200S and Grand Vista and my motorcycles 2 CS BMW'S and one GS BMW.

Sold-32 Kymco scooters of various sizes this summer.
