[quote="Guest"]Just another way to waste tax payer's money. There are already plenty of speed limit signs clearly posted and they are not being noticed or adhered to. SO, why do u think these little unordinary signs will make a difference. You can't even read them at night. In such economic times, the programs we use must be cost effective and productive. I would rather spend this program's money on something else.[/quote]

I can't figure out if some people don't get that it is illegal not to stop for a pedestrian or if they just don't care that they are breaking the law. We used to live in CA and they took it very seriously there. I remember when I took my driving exam when I was 16. I passed, but the one demerit the examinor gave me was that I didn't stop for an older man at a curve that he claimed MAY have wanted to cross. It wasn't at a crosswalk and I didn't think they looked like they were planning to cross. 20 minutes later when I was leaving with my license, the person was still standing there. But the point is, that's how seriously they took it. I know people who got tickets for not stopping to let people cross in parking lots. They weren't speeding -- they got the ticket just for not stopping.</span></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" height="1" class="spaceRow"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="22%" align="left" valign="top" class="row1"><span class="name"><a name=""></a><b>Guest</b></span></td> <td class="row1" height="28" valign="top"><table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td width="100%"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/icon_minipost.gif" width="12" height="9" alt="Post" title="Post" border="0" /><span class="postdetails">Posted: Fri, Oct 10 2008, 9:57 am EDT<span class="gen"> </span> Post subject: Re: Slow Down in Our Town Kick Off</span></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><hr /></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><span class="postbody">I've stood midway in the cross walks on main, holding the hands of my two small kids, and have had ignorant people speed by me.

Main Street. The sponsoring Freeholder and other officials will be present at 33 S. Main Street (across from the Cranbury Presbyterian Church) to officially get the campaign off the ground. Signs will be posted along S. Main Street between Cranbury Neck Road & Evans Drive. <br /> <br />Speeding in town is a HUGE issue and I encourage everyone to support this program and join us at the kickoff on Monday at 12:30 p.m.</span></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" height="1" class="spaceRow"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td> </tr> </table>
