[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People in my neighborhood don’t even slow down for stop signs. Has anyone in DC ever been stopped by a cop for a traffic violation? Of any kind? Maybe the city government should focus on enforcing existing laws before inventing new ones[/quote]

I live off a slow street and love it!  I feel much better letting the kids bike in the street. [/quote]

Glad it’s working for you. [b]The one by me is also a street with a DPR rec center and playground on it. [/b]Out of curiosity I have loosely tracked the cars while sitting at the playground with my kids on multiple different days. All but 1 car had Maryland plates and zero of the cars gave a crap about the speed limit and “no through traffic” signs at either end of the block. If we want streets to be kid and pedestrian friendly I agree with previous folks who mention enforcement (and I don’t mean cameras), or actually blocking off all traffic and making them fully open. I realize that’s a whole other conversation but my point is that the “slow streets” initiative is just a way for Bowser to check a box without doing anything meaningful or effective. [/quote]

7 stop sign PP here and I strongly suspect we are neighbors.[/quote]
