My street is exactly the same as yours. I tried the slingshot and it worked but was too time consuming. I had a friend airbrush a 8" x 11" concrete block the same color as the asphalt on my street. You can recognize it if you're doin' the speed limit but if you're
going too fast it makes a loud noise and is hazardous to the undercarriage of a car. My next door neighbors have been asking for them they work great!

speed bumps would cost me about 30 bucks i have been putting tree limbs close to the side of the road and a big creek rock they will slow down and ezz a round some will get out and move it them self but i really dont want to tear up anyones car but i dont want my 7 year old to get hit or me the wife or dog ... i have stopped some of the speeder that come threw ever day and asked nicely to slow down past our house and they can fly the rest of the road since my next neighbor is 2 miles down but it only lasted a few days ....

Well I'd put them speed bumbs in. If the county gets tired of removing them maybe they will get the picture, but I doubt it.
Maybe bribe some hungry policeman with some homemade pie to park in your driveway and run some radar and write some tickets.

Do what me and a neighbor did where I use to live in a cuddlesac. We figured out who it was and waited for him while drinking a few beers. When he started down the road at warp speed we both walked out in the road. He had to stop or run over us. I can't tell you what we told him we were gonna do on this family friendly site cause it wasn't family and it dang sure wasn't friendly. I had a baby girl that liked to ride her bike at the time and so did this neighbor.

Let's just say he got the message along with his little buds and the problem stopped!

There is a road that runs along some property that I own and teenagers were stealing the signs to decorate their bedrooms. One day there was a rollover accident near my driveway, on the main highway. It was raining like a cow peeing on a flat rock and I saw the commissioner standing in the rain directing traffic. I grabbed my umbrella and went running down where he was and held it over both of us and stroked his ego; commissioners love that crap. In the course of the conversation I asked if he would do me a couple of small, inexpensive favors. Then I told him we needed a "Slow, Children Playing" sign and a "Stop" sign erected on the road; that the others had been stolen. I asked him to weld the signs to metal posts and set the posts in concrete. He did it the next day and that took care of the problem. The signs have been in place for more than a year now.

I live just out of town on a 2-lane road with 30 mph speed limit. When we first moved here there was an alcoholic woman who lived across the road and hated speeders. She would run out and stop the cars and you could hear her 'cussin' the drivers for a country mile. She did more to control the traffic than a cop could have done. She died 4 years ago and nobody has taken over her "job."

"weld the signs to metal posts and set the posts in concrete"
Excellent idea!!!!Never thought about doing that.Now if you can get the idiots to read and comprehend,lol.

"She would run out and stop the cars and you could hear her 'cussin' the drivers for a country mile."

Just bend the bolts down on the back of the sign and they wont be able to remove the sign from the post.
