SPEED LIMITS IN LISBON

               

I'M WONDERING WHY SPEED LIMIT SIGNS

ARE POSTED OVER OVER TOWN WHEN THEY ARE NOT OBSERVED AND OBEYED?

 

THIS MORNING, WELL NEARER TO NOON,

A WOMAN BLEW ONTO SCHOOL STREET

FROM ROUTE 196. MUST HAVE BEEN

GOING AT LEAST 45 MPH.

 

NEED I  MENTION THAT THE SPEED LIMIT

ON SCHOOL STREET, AS ON ALL RESIDENTIAL

STREETS IS 25 MPH! !

 

THIS MORNING ON LISBON FACEBOOK

SOMEONE MENTIONED A VEHICLE SCREECHING

TIRES ON REID STREET.

 

AFTER A RECENT TOWN COUNCIL MEETING I

MENTIONED TO COUNCILOR ROGER BICKFORD

THAT ON A RECENT SUNDAY AFTERNOON TWO

VEHICLES WERE DRAG RACING ON SCHOOL STREET.

 

COUNCILOR ERIC METIVIER THOUGHT THAT WAS

SO FUNNY ! ! ! ! ! 

 

I DO NOT SEE ANYTHING FUNNY ABOUT SPEEDING.

 

5 MPH OVER THE LIMIT, ACCEPTABLE? MAYBE.

 

10, 15, 20 MPH OVER THE LIMIT? ESPECIALLY

IN RESIDENTIAL AREAS! NOT ACCEPTABLE!!!

 

MY PROPERTY IS ON THE ROUTE 196 END OF

SCHOOL STREET.  THE MTM CENTER WITH A PLAYGROUND AND DAY CARE IS ON THE MAIN STREET END.

 

WOULD IT BE SO FUNNY IF A CHILD, OR ANYONE,

WAS HIT BY A SPEEDING VEHICLE WHILE CROSSING

THE STREET, ERIC?

 

I KNOW THE POLICE CANNOT BE IN ALL PLACES

AT ALL TIMES. IT IS UP TO EVERY AND ALL DRIVERS

TO BE MINDFUL OF SPEED LIMITS, AT ALL TIMES!!!
