[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree that the Slow Streets program is awful.  Speed limit on local streets in DC is already low.  Most of these streets also have sidewalks but now people just walk in the street making it more dangerous for everyone. Encouraging pedestrians to walk on streets that also are open to cars - when they could be on the side walk - is just plain stupid.

Slow Streets unfairly diverts traffic onto other streets and unfairly burdens the neighbors.  Awful that it was rolled out without any public input into into picking the "winner" streets.  Makes me wonder whether all the designated slow streets have politically connected residents living on them.    [/quote]

the slow streets were chosen because they are local streets. they should not be cut throughs for MD drivers to speed to their destination. There are arterials and minor arterials for that. I live on a minor arterial that is a block over from a slow street and I have seen zero increase in traffic.[/quote]
