Descrição

Speeding on Grand Avenue is life threatening - at all hours of the day and night. Some genius made the stop lights react to sensors, rather than timers, so that they stay green most of the time, creating a racetrack on Grand Avenue. Not even the terrible potholes all along these blocks slow people down. The police are too busy going to emergencies to notice that everyone else drives faster than they do, while talking on their cell phones. This is a citywide problem, but it's particularly bad on the arteries like State, Chapel, and Grand Ave., among others, because of the long stretches between stoplights, lack of speed humps, etc. This creates barriers between little pockets of neighborhoods, and threatens lives when of pedestrians and cyclists.
