The street by my place is a winding four lane divided road through a residential neighborhood which includes a school zone. The speed limit is 35 mph. Most people do at least 50 mph. I've seen a few do about 100 mph usually late at night. Every so often a motorcycle cop sits out there and writes tickets non stop all day long.
There is a sidewalk next to the road that I use to walk my dog along with kids going to school and people out for exercise. In the past three months at least three cars have lost control and spun out over the sidewalk. One took down a sign. One hit a power pole and one just slid into a hedge. Thankfully no pedestrian was hurt but I fear it's only a matter of time.
