I try to follow the speed limit in all areas but it seems the lawn contractor trucks, some home owners in their cars and golf carts pay little to no attention to the limits. I believe it to be very dangerous especially at dusk and early in the morning. I have thought about notifying the police but I know they do not have enough officers to check every neighborhood. In my sons young professional, neighborhood in Atlanta the home owners all have signs in their yard.....SLOW DOWN! I guess that would not be allowed here due to the sign restriction but it seems ridiculous that it would not...your thoughts?
I think you might be off about the max speed if not posted, but the point being made is spot on! I will generally not walk the dog after 7:30 am becasue of all the speeding traffic.
