Traffic Control Request - Shane Griffin - Antelope Hills
Sublecr. -'----.-.
On October 27, 1988, the Commissioners received a request for speed limit
and "children playing" signs in Antelope Hills subdivision. The request
states concerns about speeding vehicles on streets where children play.
Traffic counts and vehicle speed information were gathered on Cliff Road
and Siasconset Road. There was an average daily traffic count of 266
vehicles on Siasconset and 77 vehicles on Cliff. One traffic counter on
Siasconset was set to measure all traffic that exceeded 30 miles per hour.
Six percent of the vehicles exceeded 30 miles per hour.
I recommend not placing speed limit signs for two reasons. Only six
percent of the vehicles exceed 30 miles per hour, when commonly, fifteen
percent of the traffic exceeds the speed limit. The statutory speed limit
for residential areas is 35 miles per hour. Also, as we have discussed
many times in the past, without regular law enforcement, the placement of
traffic control devices is futile.
Also, I do not recommend the placement of "children playing" signs. First
of all, children should not be playing in the street. State law allows for
pedestrian use of roadways and is also specific in how pedestrians use the
roads. It is my opinion that placement of this type of warning sign does
not affect the irresponsible driver, and gives a false sense of security to
those who believe the sign will help.
Law enforcement is the only deterrent to the irresponsible driver.

Dear Mr . Kirby ,
My name is Shane Griffin . I am 17 years old , and I
attend Windsor high school . I live on Antelope Hill
subdivision on Rd . 70, east of Windsor. I am writting a
letter concerning the idea of having speed limit signs, and
chidren playing signs put up on our streets. There has been
many concerns about cars speeding on the streets that our
youngsters play on . I have gotten the signatures of all , or
most of the residents. I think the idea of street signs
would be useful to the well being of the children in our
community .
Thank you for your time.
Sincerely , r
Shane Griffin
