[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am pro-biking but it's kind of absurd to link the accident where the trail crosses Little Falls to speed bumps on the other side of Mass Ave where the trail is entirely protected, with no road access to the trail or even sidewalks just because they are both on Little Falls.

If Wisconsin Ave has a dangerous intersection where we have stop lights does that mean we are going to put speed bumps from Rockville to Tenleytown?

Those speed bumps are just annoying and dumb.  If you really want to just make people slow down at least put up a speed camera.[/quote]
Exactly. Furthermore, the traffic signals at both ends are a speed regulator. I have not even heard one claim that there were accidents or safety risks that necessitated changes there. [/quote]

Wow. Exactly 1 accident ever. [/quote]

You: There haven't been any accidents.
Me: There was at least one.
You: There hasn't been more than one accident.

(Which, actually, there has been.)

What's your objection, specifically? You don't like driving over speed humps?[/quote]

Not that PP but I don’t like driving over speed bumps. I’d much rather drive a steady 30 or 35 mph like on Wisconson between Bradley and FH due to speed cameras than slow down to 5 or 10 mph every couple hundred yards. Speed bumps are also harder on my car. [/quote]

But the speed limit is 25 on Little Falls Parkway, not 30 or 35, which means everyone should be driving no faster than 25.[/quote]

I was just giving an actual example of another road. Whether the speed limit should be 25 or 30 is a different debate.

Why should I have to slow down to 5 mph multiple times when there are no pedestrian or cars entering traffic?[/quote]
