Would love some speed-reducing measures. I briefly looked into speed humps but it seemed like a lengthy process. A speed limit sign or other speed-reducing suggestions would be welcome.<br><br><div id="AppleMailSignature" dir="ltr">Sent from my iPhone</div><div dir="ltr"><br>On Sep 14, 2019, at 7:08 PM, Sarah Wayland <<a href="mailto:sarah.wayland@gmail.com">sarah.wayland@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br><br></div><blockquote type="cite"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif;font-size:small">In the September Town Crier, Mayor Thompson mentioned in his report that the council is considering lowering the default speed limit on town streets to 20 mph. </div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif;font-size:small"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif;font-size:small">In: <a href="http://www.riverdaleparkmd.gov/September%202019%20Crier%20Proof.pdf" style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif">http://www.riverdaleparkmd.gov/September%202019%20Crier%20Proof.pdf</a></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif;font-size:small"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif;font-size:small">He writes: </div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small"><font face="georgia, serif"><br></font></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small"><font face="georgia, serif"><b>Traffic Safety</b> </font></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small"><font face="georgia, serif"><br></font></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small"><font face="georgia, serif">At the July legislative meeting the Town Council
decided to defer action on a proposal to lower the
default speed limit on town streets from 25 mph to
20 mph. I believe that the major reason this proposal
is coming before us is not about what’s going on in
town, but in the fact that judges are unwilling to
convict on speeding offenses unless the driver was
exceeding the speed limit by at least 10 mph – which
means that the enforceable speed limit on town
streets, right now, is 35 mph. I have been paying
attention to my own driving on the residential streets
around town (excluding the state and county roads),
and I seldom exceed 20 mph, and never exceed 30. I
believe the council will take this decision slowly to
allow for education and feedback from town
residents, so please keep your eyes open for more
information. </font><br clear="all"></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif;font-size:small"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif;font-size:small">If you have opinions about this (love it or hate it), or want to know more, you might want to let your councilperson (find contact information here: <a href="http://www.riverdaleparkmd.gov/government/mayor_and_council/index.php" style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif">http://www.riverdaleparkmd.gov/government/mayor_and_council/index.php</a>) to let them know how you feel and why. </div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif;font-size:small"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif;font-size:small">-Sarah</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif;font-size:small"><br></div><div><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div><font face="trebuchet ms, sans-serif" size="1"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr" style="color:rgb(103,78,167);letter-spacing:0.2px"></div></div></font></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>
