Default Re: New traffic regs on Oak Forest Drive

Well, I'm one of the idiots. After suffering through all the supposed justifications by the selfish residents of Oak Forest Drive and deciding that this sign was morally wrong and potentially illegal, I happened to be in Polo Ridge today and actually entered the forbidden zone. I was as excited and filled with trepidation as the first time I drove thru a red light area. Wasn't near as much fun. Granted, it has been quite a while since I'd been there, but I could detect no Sword of Damocles hanging over the place. Road looked kinda empty. While in the area, however, I spoke with some friends who live on Woodbridge Dr. They're keeping a close eye on Oak Forest and plan the same thing if this one holds.

And of course Belvedere will follow as this is without doubt the busiest gate and the street most packed with speeding nonresidents in existence. Man the barricades! The barbarians are at the gates, or, in this case, driving down my street!
