Boundary/ Highway H is a narrow road with high speed traffic. It gets a large volume of traffic, and is widely used by joggers, walkers and cyclists. Coming from the south, Highway H has a 55 mph speed limit extending into the city limit. The 35 mph zone begins just south of La Harpe. This street could be made safer at little expense. One option is to extend the 35 mph zone south to Shepherd. Another option is graduated speed zones, for example introducing a 45 mph zone between Shepherd and the current 35 mph zone.

Campaign for safer Boundary/ Hwy H
I urge Kirksville City Council and MoDOT to work with area residents to find a real solution to the problem of traffic driving too fast for safety on Boundary/ Hwy H.
Updates
January 26, 2011
The momentum behind this push is finally forcing the local authorities to acknowledge the obvious danger on Highway H. MoDOT and the Kirksville City Council can no longer pretend this road is safe while our neighbors continue to risk their lives every single day.

I drive this every day and it is a nightmare. People fly through there way too fast especially with people walking their dogs. Needs to change before someone gets hurt.
Too dangerous for kids on bikes. FIX IT NOW.

The speed limit definitely needs to be dropped sooner. Its just common sense really.
