Little Falls Parkway speed bumps

[Anonymous]

There shouldn't be speed humps on Little Falls Parkway because I like to drive on a smooth road at the speed limit. Now I have to slow down below the speed limit.

Still didnt’t need to install speed bumps. It makes zero sense. It’s another example of Casey Anderson being an unnecessary prick.

It is ridiculous that they didn't fire him for having a full bar in his office. unbelievable.

I don’t understand how they refuse to hold him to any standards. He’s now a lame duck doing active damage to the county.

Roads are for driving, people.

Historically, roads were not built for driving. Bikes and pedestrians were using roads way before cars appeared. In reality, roads were multi-use for a very long time. Drives me nuts driving up Dorset so I avoid it, which is the point. It’s a residential road that doesn’t need cars cutting through to Wisconsin.

Don't give a crap about what happened when we got around by horse and buggy. We're talking about 2022. For my entire lifetime, roads have been for driving. Dorset goes from Little Falls to Wisconsin. Can you suggest another road that does that? I'm sorry the wealthy people who live in Somerset would rather have the road all to themselves, but my taxes paid for it and I want to use it TO DRIVE ON. Since that is indeed what roads are made for, in 2022.

If we're addressing pedestrian and bike safety, why not insist pedestrians and bicyclists behaving safely, too? I can't tell you how many times every single day I see pedestrians walking into the street staring straight down at their phones, or with their backs to oncoming traffic, like idiots. No amount of speed bumps can keep idiots like that safe.

Well, you may notice that a lot of people walk and bike on roads. Guess what, we all pay taxes and some of us are polluting the air to get around and are not operating a 2 tone vehicle with the anger you are exhibiting in this forum.

If you were actually driving the speed limit, you wouldn't notice the speed humps.

That is nonsense. Do you drive over speed bumps at 25 mph? I certainly don’t.

Honestly I don’t see what the big deal is if people go 30 or 35 mph on that stretch— it’s a half mile with no place for people to enter the road on foot or by car.

If you really need to dampen speed do a speed limit camera or car.

(And do they really need *3* speed bumps to keep speeds reasonable?)

I walk and bike too but unless you are suggesting that every single road in MoCo should have speed bumps this is a very odd choice to start installing them.

You are welcome to drive on any road safely. The rest of us who pay taxes (seriously?) would like you to slow down or pick a route that doesn’t go through a residential area. If you would slow down, you could go through neighborhoods without speed bumps. But you can’t do that so you get speed bumps. See how that works?

Who are you addressing? Not me. I follow the speed limit. I drive safely. I also want to live in a community where people follow the rules because they know how to, not because they are hobbled. See how that works?

What? There's no "neighborhood" on LF Parkway. Do you even know what this post is about?

I can paint my car whatever colors I choose, thank you very much.

You obviously don't drive there. And on Little Falls Parkway, in addition to the speed bumps, there are about a thousand reflective signs, road signs, and two stop lights all in the name of safety. It is the most insanely confusing stretch of road on planet earth. No one who drove there for the first time would know what to do. All so those who use the trail can cross the street in the middle of the road, instead of walking or biking twenty yards in either direction to a light with a cross walk. Insanity.

People need to stop speeding. Until that happens, stte and county officials are going to make physical installations to force people to stop speeding. It is quite simple, really.

Having lived and driven on this road my entire life, I can say with certainty the frequency of people walking or riding in this stretch of the road is virtually zero.

No one speed on that stretch of road. It goes from two lanes to one almost immediately, so people have to merge like it or not, then it curves around several curves before coming to River Rd. There is no time to speed.

I was addressing don’t-give-a-crap who specifically mentioned Dorset and how they must slow down on a residential street.. (Not Little Falls, for the PP who doesn’t read before they type.) I understand you want to live free and unfettered by speed bumps in a world where all drivers obey speed limits. But you don’t and impatient ragey drivers like OP are the reason we all get to slow down even further for speed bumps. Some people just cannot control themselves so they have to be controlled. That’s the real world you live in. That’s how it really works.
