how to get slow children at play signs and speet limit signs installed on my road?

Question

I live on a little country road that has no speed limit signs and speeding vehicles slide off the road right in front of my house. I have two children and I don't even let them play in the front yard even when I am there with them.

Answer 1

City Hall or County Courthouse

It varies from city to city and county, or parish, but the department that maintains the roads should be able to answer your question. I would also suggest the police or sheriff's department for better patrolling.

If all else fails, try contacting your councilman, alderman, or county supervisor. They should have a better working knowledge of the local government and be able to point you in the right direction.

Remember, you pay taxes. These folks work for you, not the other way around.

Answer 2

"Slow Children at Play" signs are a bad idea. Drivers don't change their behavior. If parents/children feel safer they will be more inclined to take chances around the road. Roads are dangerous. Keep the kids out of the road.

It seems like you already have a good solution.

Answer 3

I live in the middle of no where. All I had to do was call the road department and tell them my problem within 2 days I had signs up.

Answer 4

call your county road commissioner,s office and explain this to them,,they will put one up for you ,,even if it is a county ,,or state road,,they still help maintain it,,you can go through the court house,,but they will probably loose the request form,,if you call or got the commissioner,s office,,you stand a better chance of getting it done,,i know i have gotten some up in my neighborhood,,just recently,,this will work,,and be the fastest way,,hope this help,s

Answer 5

Is it a state highway or a county road? If the latter, call your county courthouse. If it is a state road, call the state highway department in your area.
