Well, realistically, you won't get speed bumps (they just don't do that on public streets) but youRead More might get a speed trap once in a while. I drive this road every weekday and am just as appalled as you are by the speeding. And let me tell you, it's not always youngsters. I've seen a few blue-haired old ladies ride my bumper on that street. We have a similar problem on Barn Hill, another long stretch of road where drivers feel the need for speed. What I can't figure out (with all due respect) is why anybody with half a brain would choose either of those streets for their morning or evening walk. That's just tempting fate.
