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 am not familiar with your neighborhood but if I were to drive through it and saw the speed limit was 15 I would drive 15, not 25.
You can contact the county commissioners to voice your concern but I wouldn't recommend it. There is a reason the speed limit is 15 MPH so I would suggest living with it.
