[RP TownTalk] Another car totaled on Taylor Road

[Aunt Emily]

What about signs saying NO THRU TRAFFIC.  Residents only.  Ravenswood Rd is dangerous as they drive too fast and get mad if you are entering or exiting your car.  There are kids grade school & up riding bikes in & out of cars who are not great at holding their balance.  These same cars tip the brake and speed on not coming to a full stop.  A car almost hit a kid who ran out into the street because he expected the car to come to a full stop and it did not.  The car slammed on their brakes.

While I haven't noticed any hit and runs over here but we have a similar traffic problem on Ravenswood Rd heading West. Cars use Ravenswood Rd as a short cut to bypass traffic on EW highway. During morning rush hour we have way too much traffic. Even though we have speed bumps it doesn't discourage the drivers. I would prefer something else in addition. Perhaps making the area one way unless you are a resident and can prove it. Similar to what they already do on Queensbury between route 1 and queens chapel.

We have a similar problem on Queensbury between 49th Ave and the firehouse with a few hit and runs in the last year. The traffic from East-West Hwy cuts through this area during rush hour and is sometimes so heavy that it makes crossing the street difficult and unsafe. Perhaps a speed bump would be helpful on this block as well.

This is probably the four totaled car if not more further down Taylor Road closer to the Mansion, Our car was side swiped 9 years ago. All parked on the street. People have even put out cones behind there cars to help drivers. Cars and truck use Taylor as a cut through or avoided police on Keniworth, also speeding! The town should really think about speed humps on Taylor Road to make our town safer!
