Slow Down on 42

[Black Beauty]

I cannot believe how fast people drive on Hwy 42. Some going over 60 in a 45 zone..no cops?

[billethkid]

the average speed on all the main streets in TV has increased to an unacceptable level for a residential area.

Hear we go again the traffic cops are back , please let’s all have your stories again about how fast you are passed SIGH !!!

[VApeople]

Since I never exceed the posed speed limit, I get passed all the time. It doesn't bother me at all.

I figure that almost all of the speeders are more skilled drivers than I am. Otherwise, they would have already been killed in an auto accident.

You answered your own question, ......no cops.
They don't care, why should anyone else.
Besides, if you get into a accident with a speeder, you can share the fault......:boxing2:

Some drive 50 down B/V off 42. I find few roads in or around villages majority drive above speed limit.

If you’re talking about stretch from 441 to 301, they go right by sheriff’s Southern headquarters buildings, guess that’s safest place to speed? :faint: There always few that drive well above speed limit I travel that road frequently most seem to say around 50 or below?

Yes, I’m going to get my personal radar gun out!:super:

Do fishermen catch all the fish? Neither do cops! When folk get a ticket they complain too

[RICH1]

I never knew a police station was located up there on Hwy 42, I guess I will have to slow down and look for it! Thanks for the heads up

[DaleDivine]

People are constantly going 60 on BV, Morse, 466 and 466a...
Soooo, what's new???

And how do you know its over 60? Do you have a radar or is that your expert opinion from just eyeballing them.

Rarely do I ever see any cops on 42 or 441!! The maniacs know it and go even faster, normally in large SUV's, cutting in and out of traffic! Not to mention running red lights and tailgating!

[Luggage]

I find local, county and State officials very responsive to my emails, I don't always get my way but they do listen and do respond whether it's asking for speed enforcement from the police or trash on the side of the roads getting picked up or grass cut or signs taken down or put up it's very easy to shoot off an email since there are so many different websites that say contact us. You won't get in trouble it takes 5 minutes and you'll feel better for it. I had half a million dollars spent 1 year on the road leading out the back of our community from just a simple few phone calls

[Luggage]

Exactly , it's common sense and I find foolish comments and nothing to the conversation .

[Luggage]

Oh come on . Sigh .....

[Beyond The Wall]

Hwy is NOT a residential street. It’s a Hwy! Complain about no cops the next time you get pulled over during a fund raising period( beginning or end of month, holiday weekend)!

[Judy n Ron]

Glib.

[Beyond The Wall]

60 on Morse! Must go through a lot of tires and brakes. The other roads , I can believe

[PugMom]

i think we need to address this with Trooper Steve! :duck:

Just 3 questions:

1) Was this on the part of SR42 that is posted at 55mph and not 45?
2) Did you calibrate your radar gun before clocking that guy?
3) Are you a LEO?

Because unless your answers are no, yes and yes, that post means nothing, it is simply one person's opinion of another's speed.

[Thaxxx]

The cops aren't there because there is no Dunkin Doughnuts® there.

Why would anyone need to work the brakes on Morse? You referring to the Chicanes I mean Round-Abouts?:pepper2:

[Number 10 GI]

Speeders are the least of your road worries in TV. I have seen so many drivers get out of their vehicle who can barely stand and walk.

I agree but it's just as bad on El Camino, Morse and Buena Vista. The speed limit is 35 mph but I get passed ALL the time like I'm standing still. I never see an officer with radar and parking a police car somewhere for a week does not do any good.

Why is everyone in such a big hurry? You are supposed to be retired!!

[Sherry8bal]

SHAME, SHAME, SHAME on you. That was a cheap shot at our law enforcement. I hope when you need them, they are unavailable.

Real original.

Except when they cross the RR tracks at 42/301....and go 5 miles per hour over the tracks??

[Larchap49]

With what the average police officer has to face these days that is an inappropriate comment. Might have been funny 20 years ago but no longer has any comedic value. I suggest you get with the times.

[B-flat]

No need for that comment and besides if you want to be critical Dunkin' is the new name and it was spelled "Donuts" not Doughnuts.

[LateBoomer]

not just 42. 41 ? 466A -- its like a speedway to get ahead of people before it squeezes down to one lane. 60 is a typical speed even in the two laned parts. it's not just villagers.
