		<description>John,

Thanks for the explanation.  But can you please explain why the city would have to dismiss &#039;round-a-bouts&quot;  because they would have to make them big enough to accommodate the high speeds and trucks that aren’t suppose to be on Fernside, they might have to eat into the Public ROW of the corners.

I have to ask the obvious - why ?  While I am against roundabouts for many reasons, these reasons are illogical. Why not maintain speed limits in our community? Why not enforce our traffic laws?

Having the succession of stop signs seems to have a positive impact on keeping traffic speeds down, but those signs impede the orderly flow of over 12,000 cpd.

I like the solar powered speed reminders; perhaps we can install some in our trouble areas related to speeders. We could pay for them with ticket revenue if we can find a reasonable &#039;traffic-camera&#039; company that does not overcharge for their service. We could also make revenue from trucks illegally on our roads. As long as cameras are located AFTER a speed reminder sign, I am in favor of using them.</description>
