A some what worthless radar trailer on Forrest St
Well, after my pleas, emails, and phone calls, the traffic division has finally placed a radar trailer on my street. The thing is, it's closer to the H St end ... and I mean, really close to the end of the street, so at that point people have already slowed their asses down for the stop sign. The need it right in front of my house - where people accelerate like maniacs trying to qualify, in both directions!
So now I need to call them again and ask if they can move it toward the middle of the street. Think they'll listen? Here's a photo of the worthless radar taken by a local Forrest St snoop who apparently obeys the speed limit.

They should, and I am glad that someone cares enough to request them to do such a thing. This is very good for the community and there should be more people like you out there doing more, rather than think only about themselves and not care. Good for you to take a stand and I would like to be informed if your new request is fufilled.

Yeah, I always make it a point to drive 4mph below the speed limit no matter where I go.

Yeah, I drive down that street for work. Not much time to do the Steve McQueen from Oleander to H Street and catch up to speed radar buggy. So, I cruise it no faster then 25. tee-hee.

There's a new white mustang that loves to rev up at the stop sign at Oleander then take off screaming down Forrest to H St. Sometimes they fly the opposite direction. Amazing how much speed people can pick up in such a short distance! Thanks for driving the speed limit! :) posted by
