[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My child was late to school today and there was still traffic surrounding Churchill at 8:00.

Parents can speed as much as students. The school dropoffs are also on neighborhood two lane roads which are prone to being congested. Just because the driver was a parent doesn't mean the school community should dismiss the incident. Any earlier, a student pedestrian could have been struck when the car left the road.

A van with a speed camera is regularly parked on Gainsborough near Cabin John. [b]Why can't one be parked in front of Churchill or a permanent camera errected like Wootton has? Is the county waiting for a magic number of accidents or a fatality before doing something[/b]?[/quote]

Speeding is not the only issue. DO you know how many times I see parents on their phones? You would think with all the fancy cars parents at Churchill drive, they would learn to use the Bluetooth.[/quote]

So is running the red light at Gainsborough/Tuckerman to get to school drop-off in the morning which I've seen parents do MANY times. Very dangerous. There needs to be a red light camera there.[/quote]

They need a turn signal at that intersection. It is incredibly difficult to make a left onto Gainsborough from Tuckerman in the morning and afternoon. If they want to disable it during other parts of the day fine, but I've seen where only 2 cars can get through that light and mostly it's on the yellow turning red. [/quote]
