The name gets people to support things even when they don't make sense. Call it a road review or road policy instead. <br /><br />Also, our representatives always try to pass the buck on this saying that, "well your neighbors petitioned for this." First off they made the rules that made that possible, second just because someone petitions for something does not make it a good idea. I believe there is way too much focus on "traffic calming." Roads that have worked great forever are changed in the name of "traffic calming" when no calming is needed. People will still speed even with all the measures. Kings park is a great example. They removed these beautiful round abouts and put in speed humps and now the speed is faster than ever. Ugh.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
