What looked like a typical street became a speedway around rush hour. I petitioned the police for help and they put up a speed monitoring device that posted the speed limit and then reported the car's speed back to the driver in a simple number display. The neighborhood kids had a blast driving down my street as fast as they could to get the sign to go as high as possible. Fixed nothing. Now I live in New Mexico on a dirt road. That slows 'em down.
