I wanted to question the speed limit but I didn't want to get him mad enough to change his mind and give me a ticket, so I kept silent. I agree that we don't want people speeding around there in a residential area, but 25mph would be a much more reasonable limit. 15mph is usually reserved for business driveways and parking lots. Does anyone agree with me and if so, do you know who I could contact to voice my concern? Thanks. Mac

I don't agree.
There are a lot of residents that walk in the street (no sidewalks), slow moving carts with no separate cart lane, bike riders, people walking dogs, and some residents in motorized wheel chairs.
I've seen the sheriff on a corner near when I live and they pull you over for either speeding or not making a complete stop.
As mentioned in other threads, the patrols have recently increased, carts and cars are getting pulled over.
