SLOW DOWN

I believe it’s way over due that these speed limits around W. Co. Rd. 122and surrounding roads just located off of Faudree need to be lowered. Many of our children play and stand outside waiting to catch buses around 6:40am when it’s dark out and very little visibility and you have trucks rushing through our small county roads to get to work, where our children are only a few feet away waiting to catch the bus. Now it's too late for one local family and NO parent should ever have to go through such a horrible tragedy like this ever again. Let us all take a stand and RAISE our VOICE to this awareness. Located just off of Faudree Road, W.C.Rd.122 has become a highway or a shortcut for many to speed down, speed limit says 40 but you have vehicles driving 50 plus down this road where many children play. Our quite streets are not safe anymore and have many of us locals on the edge. Together lets stand in agreement and have our voices heard. Each and every one of our children are precious and a valuable gift from God. Help keep our kids safe and protect them in any way possible.. Treasure every moment you have with them for we never know when it'll be the last.

Safety Facts Nearly 70% of children who are hurt or killed by cars are struck and injured within several blocks of their own homes! *However, children are 50% less likely to be hit and injured by cars in a neighborhood with traffic calming initiatives. *

Neighborhood speeding is a serious problem - endangering pedestrians, bicyclists, pets and property. Speeding is the single most common traffic rule violation and contributes to one third of all road traffic crashes, says the World Health Organization. Take action and help slow down speeders and stop highway traffic in our neighborhood.
