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)!

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.

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?

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!!

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

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.

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.

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.
