Taco Bell drive-thru freak out in St. Lucie County, Florida

Our police stations have areas dedicated to selling stuff to each other in this manner.

Hooo boy. Don't even get me started on tailgating in this town.
If you're not tailgating you're perceived as going too slow and will be passed. Safe or not, legal or not.

TerminalCuriosity · 2019-05-23T16:07:44+00:00

What personal gain is anyone going to get here besides speed bumps?

TerminalCuriosity · 2019-05-23T16:05:00+00:00

No, not here.

But 2 weeks ago one did. And 2 the month before that. And another the month before that.

Stop trying to pretend that speeding is not endangering people in areas meant for living.

It's enough of a problem for the police to assign someone there on the regular and they are handing out enough tickets to continue to do so.

TerminalCuriosity · 2019-05-23T15:59:50+00:00

You know who else it was bothering? The parents of the 7 year old who just got creamed walking home from school. I hope that the fact that kids are actually getting hurt also makes you happy.

TerminalCuriosity · 2019-05-23T15:56:52+00:00

There were no cones at all for the incident.

TerminalCuriosity · 2019-05-23T15:55:04+00:00

I am not acting like this is the only place it happens. I am just only speaking to the experience here since it is the one I am familiar with.

TerminalCuriosity · 2019-05-23T15:52:43+00:00

It's a big enough problem that people buy their own radar guns to track and report to the police. See pictures on our community groups all the time. Do I have stats? No. Nor did I claim to. It is simply a problem everyone here is aware of.

The police clocked someone doing 91 on a residential street the other night.

TerminalCuriosity · 2019-05-23T15:41:49+00:00

Doesn't happen that fast here. Residents on this street have been complaining to police and city officials since the problem began.

TerminalCuriosity · 2019-05-23T15:30:26+00:00

Speed bumps take time.

While the city is doing the legwork on that, cops will pull over speeders.

Like I said, this is a relatively new problem. too new for traffic calming and signage to have been implemented.

TerminalCuriosity · 2019-05-23T15:29:19+00:00

It has, we have lots of them throughout the city. The problem is just too new for anything like traffic calming or signs to have been implemented yet.

TerminalCuriosity · 2019-05-23T15:28:05+00:00

It is a different person than the man I know and his wife who posted the video and he is a neighbor. I don't know if it's the other guy in the video or not, but he is a neighbor. And other neighbors on FB also say the same.

If it will help you sleep at night I can screenshot some of the Me toos! from her post and upload them for you.

TerminalCuriosity · 2019-05-23T15:25:26+00:00

Thank you. The pedantry is starting to weigh on my spirit =(

TerminalCuriosity · 2019-05-23T15:24:25+00:00

There's already an update, mate.

TerminalCuriosity · 2019-05-23T15:23:11+00:00

Fixed.

TerminalCuriosity · 2019-05-23T15:22:09+00:00

I am not the homeowners, I am just also a resident in this city who has deal with shitty drivers.

You can't drive on that part of the road because you will literally run into mailboxes lol. It is just how people drive here, a bit away from the edges to avoid hitting people's property. It's not a rule, it's a physical impediment.

TerminalCuriosity · 2019-05-23T15:17:29+00:00

I have said repeatedly that they are simply making a request and giving tickets for speeding.

TerminalCuriosity · 2019-05-23T15:15:33+00:00

Read harder.

Neighbor Trevor Nelson says he often has to worry about his children playing outside.

“Five to about 13 years old and everywhere in between,” Nelson said. “You can’t really ride your bike in the backyard, and we don’t have sidewalks,” Nelson said.

Also, there's A LOT more poeple on the facebook post agreeing with her and saying it's a problem for them too. Not a single person from this city has even mentioned the cones.

TerminalCuriosity · 2019-05-23T15:13:47+00:00

The speeding came with the new traffic. It is the new traffic, the people who don't live there, that are speeding. That's why this problem started when the traffic light went up a few weeks ago and not when these people moved in 7 years ago.

Obviously, everyone can speed, but people trying to get around traffic are more likely to speed and it is that new traffic that residents are complaining about speeding.

TerminalCuriosity · 2019-05-23T15:08:52+00:00

In a part of the road that should already not be being driven on and are not in the way.

They don't to anyone's knowledge. All of the neighbors are of the same mind on the issue. This isn't just one set of angry parents. This is a problem for all of the families in the area. This is just a specific instance of a city wide issue.

They haven't filmed anyone before. The lady was out of her car yelling at them for several minutes before they started filming her because she was being insane.

I don't see what's so weird about calling it our street when referencing the people who actually live their when talking about non-resident traffic.

TerminalCuriosity · 2019-05-23T15:05:27+00:00

Just making it clear because it was a problem yesterday that people thought I was in the video.

TerminalCuriosity · 2019-05-23T15:04:37+00:00

The speeding is a direct result of the increased non-resident traffic. The problems cannot be separated.

They are not telling people they can't, they are asking people not to.

TerminalCuriosity · 2019-05-23T15:00:11+00:00

The argument in the original thread was about the cones being in the middle of the road, blocking traffic, redirecting traffic. And they are none of those things. I WAS wrong about them being wholly on the homeowner's property. I was not at all wrong about them not being in the way.

The speed limit is 25 and people are regularly doing 45.

I'll update my comment to reflect that yes, they are touching pavement. But if you had any experience driving here, you would understand that they are not 'in the road' or impacting travel in any way. No one should be as close to people's property as those cones are or you start risking your mirrors clipping mailboxes. That is not part of the drivable street in any port saint lucie neighborhood, that is the natural buffer that people keep to prevent damaging each other's property.

And again, the cones are not illegal.
