In part, I think this is because when an effort is made, it is repeatedly damaged by careless drivers. I know this was the case on West Nancy Creek Drive. The first efforts they installed were attractive, but several times over at least a few months, people kept overrunning the pavement stones used as borders, damaging everything planted within.<br /><br />I find speeders, especially those who do not appear to be paying any attention to their surroundings, even less attractive than the means deployed here to calm traffic. I know when I've shopped for houses, many times I've refused to even stop for a look if I've noticed lots of fast traffic passing.<br /><br />I live on Valley View Road and our massive speed bumps do not deter all who use the road as a by-pass. Most mornings and evenings as I wash dishes and prepare food at the window, I watch and chuckle as the same folks try to save time and bottom out or leave the ground. However, I know the bumps slow most folks who might otherwise speed down the road. The county removed them for a time and speeds rapidly increased until the county replaced them.<br /><br />Just a thought...Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17675414679140823168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2935662058758102231.post-55779404761331491422009-04-13T14:27:00.000-04:002009-04-13T14:27:00.000-04:00These "traffic-calming" areas tend to be unattract...These "traffic-calming" areas tend to be unattractive. How will this affect home sales in this area? I would not think these would be too attractive to potential homebuyers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
