Bombero, you have my sympathies for living on Azteca. I plead guilty to being one of those who uses your street as a shortcut. I do stop at every stop sign, drive slowly and try to be respectful. Heck, I'm even weird enough to stop and let you out of your driveway rather than making you wait for me. Seems only fair since I know I'm encroaching.

Ditto Oak Forest. I use it, too. The signs aren't going to stop me. These are public streets maintained by public funds (property taxes, gasoline taxes, etc.). You can't restrict the public from using public streets. If I'm speeding, give me a ticket, I won't fight it because I don't live on it? I'll fight that puppy all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court if I have to and I'll win.

I don't take the shortcuts to save time as much as I take them because the golf cart paths are so dang bumpy -- especially on El Camino and north of Polo Ridge. They're just not all that comfortable to me, whether I'm on my scooter or someone's golf cart. As I said, I do try to be respectful of the residents of those streets that I know are getting more than their fair share of traffic because it is a short cut. It would be nice if others would try to drive on these streets quietly, slowly, safely and sanely.
