This is frustrating to me. There are ways to resolve these issues. The fact that they don't happen makes me very skeptical of neighborhood concerns about it.

Closing the little gap next to the McDonald's on Old Westham should be sufficient without meaningful inconvenience for the homes there. There are more things you could do based on how much residents actually care about traffic.

I agree! I think there is some resentment too because forest hill is not 45-50mph right up to that. Not posted speed but actuals.

That's a widespread problem in the US. We like to put shops and houses right next to roads where cars are trying to go fast.

I'm reminded of this problem with some elementary school; I don't recall which. The issues was cars would cut through the road in front of the school while driving fast. This is dangerous.

I looked at the map and... they can just make that road a dead end. Problem solved. Makes me so mad.
