For those recommending the speed limit be raised on Buena Vista have you considered that this is a golf cart community which entitles "street legal LSVs" to travel with traffic on 35mph roads? I am surprised that the LSV crowd has not jumped all over this thread. As far as the speeding ticket argument is concerned, part of the driver's responsibility is to be aware of the speed limits on the roads that he travels and to obey the posted speed limits. For whatever reason, it is the driver's responsibility to comply with the law. Why do posters love to recommend disobeying the law? If you get tickets, you are not obeying the law, you are endangering your life and the lives of your passengers, and, most importantly, you are endangering me. I would love to see a police officer sit outside your house and ticket you the moment you depart your residence. He may save a life each and every time he/she gave you a ticket. Hopefully for you, you will get some sense in your head before you run out of your money budgeted for the courts. Advising motorists of where police are checking speeds is not doing anyone a favor. Let the speeders get the tickets. Consider yourself lucky if you are driving the speed limit and see the offender sitting on the side of the road getting written-up.
