Speeders on my street! Is there anything I can do?
I live in a subdivision in Lake County Indiana. The roads are clearly marked at 20mph and you would not believe how fast these people go!! For some reason it seems to be a cut through and they go so fast that within the last week 2 of them lost their back end and almost lost total control. I go out and yell but then they just speed up. Now since everyone knows I am the "yeller" they do it on purpose. I have contacted County PD 4 times in the last two weeks and gave them permission to sit in my driveway and would even supply them with an endless supply of coffee, lunch, anything! I want these punk kids to see them clocking and hopefully get their attention. County has not come out and apparently I am in this on my own. Is there anything I can do? I have three kids under 10yrs old and worry about their safety.Your ideas are greatly appreciated!
Yeah I know I need to stop yelling at them. I am pretty sure I will be on here asking how to get egg off my house if I don’t LOL! It just makes me so mad! Thank you guys for all your ideas! Happy Holidays!
First,you should probably stop yelling at them.Next,both you and some of your neighbors could contact the police department and complain to them that there are many people speeding down your road.They should make more patrols through your neighborhood,and if they don’t you can contact the city council and tell them that the pd isn’t listening to your complaints.Just one person complaining likely won’t get a response out of the pd,instead you should get a few more people to complain.

get with your neighbors and all of you contact the police. If several people complain versus one person, the police will take it more seriously. Plus, giv ethem notes. Whden it is happening? Is there one vehicle in particular you see speeding? Give them as much info as you can.

Had the same problem on a rural rod in NH. Speed Limit – 30 Vehicle speeds – sometimes over 60 and 70.
The police did respond a couple of times and pulled over a couple people if I had a license plate and description.
Try that first. Get a GOOD description of the car and the license plate. Stand at the end of your driveway with a video camera and take video of the idiots. Let them know that you are serious.
If that doesn’t work I had good luck a couple times bouncing a beach ball out in the road just as they approached. Gotta make it look like an accident that it got in to the road though because you can be held liable for any damage you cause.

Get a bunch of blacktopping and build your own speed bump. They’ll be happily surprised.

1 – Stop going out and yelling at them. Stop bringing attention to yourself.
2 – Possibly talk to city council if the PD isn’t listening.
3 – Get your neighbors to contact the PD/city as well. One person could just be a woman whining….Many people complaining shows that there’s a problem.

Speed bump.
Seriously, video tape the offenders and take it to the police. Not only will they see how fast they cars are going but they can see who is doing it.

Your best bet is to have your friends complain to the police _and_ mayor/city council.
