Our 1/4 mile long road has a slight kink and telephone pole close to the road (and no sidewalks because our town hates poor people). Since Google maps shows it saving 1 minute over taking the adjacent main road, everyone bombs down it during rush hours and especially lunch time.
At least 1 mirror per week is rapidly disassembled by that pole. I’m collecting parts so that I can bring a bucket of it to the town meeting demanding they install a summer speed bump at the very least.
Seriously, both towns on either side have sidewalks, and crosswalks across the main roads. We only moved here to care for elderly parents and plan to leave as soon as the situation changes.
