Please help by signing a petition to urge Houston to do something about traffic on Seagler Road. There is nothing to slow down cars for about a mile between Sugar Hill to Olympia Dr except the traffic light at Briar Forest which encourages speed to try to make the light. Cars cut through to avoid the traffic on Beltway 8. The next street that goes to Westheimer is Gessner, a couple of miles away. Cars actually pass others if they are not moving fast enough! Stop signs are ignored. The speed limit is 30 mph. Residents living just off Briar Forest can barely leave their streets during peek times! We love our kids and pets!
I am afraid to take my kids out in the stroller by myself because Seagler gets so much traffic! The cars pay no attention to those of us abiding by traffic laws as they race down Seagler to get to the light either at Briar Forest or Westheimer. Too many people use Seagler as a way to cut through as opposed to a way to get to our neighborhood.
