june 1st: Council votes to install 'slow children at play' signs on 100 mph road, and I'm the only one asking for common sense
You know what really grinds my gears? Our city council spent hours debating and voting on june 1st to put up those bright yellow 'slow children at play' signs on Maple Creek Road—a road where people do 100 mph at 3 PM on a Tuesday. Common sense says if you can't see a kid because you're going 100, a sign isn't going to save them. But hey, let's spend taxpayer money on plastic and paint instead of speed bumps or, I don't know, enforcing the speed limit. My neighbor's dog got hit by a truck last week on that same stretch, and the council's answer is more signs? Absolute joke. Maybe on june 1st they should have voted to ban trucks from that road entirely. But no, that would require common sense.
