I am appealing to the selfish side of the hurray up people to think about how long they may be delayed if they have to stay at an accident to finish the police interview and wait for the medical transport to leave. Not to mention how they might feel after killing someone's grandma or grandpa.
Roundabouts - 20 MPH before you enter
Most streets - 30 Mph or LESS! (Yes 30 MPH is very slow)
We were on the ninth hole of Sand Hill when fire engines and rescue arrived at the roundabout at Buena Vista and St. Charles near the St James Gate.
It was about 9am. Lots of Villages maintenance people working on the landscaping on the rotary at time so we thought something happened to one of them. Second fire engine and second rescue arrived but we couldn't see any car accident. This may have been the bicycle accident.
