[quote=Anonymous]I am probably going to get flamed for this but if you commute into the city from a suburb and Google maps is routing you off of main roads to avoid traffic, PLEASE REMEMBER that you are driving through somebody's neighborhood. I'm SO SICK of the honking, speeding, angry suburban drivers racing through the little one-way residential streets near me when I am walking my kids to daycare. It's gotten a lot worse in the past couple years so I can only assume Google maps is routing people, otherwise I honestly don't understand how these cars would end up on my street since it's just a one-way a few blocks away from any major arterial road.

I understand the streets are for everybody and I understand I live in the city and that means a lot of people need to get here for work, all I'm asking is that you keep in mind that this is my neighborhood where my kids play and I walk on the streets. The speed limit is 15, and there are stop signs every block for a reason. If that is frustrating to you, then stay on the major roads which are designed for more inbound traffic.

I have no other venue by which I would ever communicate with commuters so.... here I am. I'm sure a bunch of people are going to start yelling at me about this, somehow. [/quote]
