It's not a hard thing to do, it's a hard thing to prove. There is no excuse for not trying to be proactive instead of waiting for something to happen and unfortunately it will happen. I have no issues with golf carts, I don't have one but I don't see them as a nuisance in my neighborhood.

there are speeders all over the place. Good luck getting speed bumps put in...this isn't Westport. I'm curious why your generalizing the use of "quads" and "off road motorcycles" as an issue? Not everybody that rides ATV's are creating issues. And don't even get me started on golf carts. Let me ask you this....are the golf carts exceeding the posted speed limit? By the way, ATV's are to be registered with the DMV and taxes are applied and billed by the town of Enfield, even though they are illegal to ride unless on private property. What about bicycles if they are exceeding the posted speed limit on your street?...are they an issue?

Hey Dan,
Thanks for the update on everything but the problem I'm addressing. Can you least stay on point.

Apparently you've never experienced a quad doing wheelies in front of your house. Or an off road motorcycle enter your driveway at way above the speed limit and continue down the sidewalk while evading the Police. Well I have on
multiple occasions. If you haven't seen quads racing on Spruceland I question if you even live on our street. Or perhaps you are part of the problem? I have video to prove the wheelies. Golf carts were only mentioned because they fall under the same unregistered category as the ATV's.

ATV's require insurance and a registration. If they're pulling wheelies and creating a nuisance then there's a problem with a person, not the use of ATV's. My ATV is a utility type and isn't capable of pulling wheelies. I have a muffler and spark arrestor as required by the DEP. My neighbors lawn mower is louder than my ATV. Stop pointing fingers and generalizing. Who are you to insinuate that I'm part of a problem? I don't even know where Spruceland St. is nor do I care. I was simply commenting on your generalization. This forum is a moronic place to complain about speeders as speeding in a motor vehicle is a crime and is punishable by fines, license suspension and possibly even time if somebody gets hurt or property is damaged. If you have it on video, call the police department. I didn't start this thread, I only commented on the topics in Jim's write up which all included speeders, ATV's, offroad motorcycles and golf carts.

Hey Dan,
Can you find another forum to spew your information on. As you can see it had nothing to do with your issues.
Thanks,
Jim

Go troll somewhere else. You opinion is not of any interest to me.

Speed bumps and other traffic control devices fall under the purview of our local Legal Traffic Authority. In this case the Enfield Police Department. This complaint will be forwarded to them for action.

Kelly, Paul assigned this issue to Sgt. M. Squires

Studies have shown speed bumps are not an effective speed reduction tool. If there is a speed problem in the area, please contact the police department and we will continue to address this location with enforcement and speed trailers. 763-8919

I disagree. I do see people slow down to go over speed bumps. How that is not effective I don't understand. It would be nice to see someone be more proactive on addressing this issue as it is not isolated besides the fact that stop signs are a mere suggestion today. When I get the time I'll certainly call.

With all due respect to The Sargent. This is what I'd expect from him. I've had personal contact with him in regards to ATV's in our neighborhood. His response was and I quote"when You moved here you signed on for it" to which I respectfully told him that response was totally unacceptable.

Jim, give me a call on Thursday if you have a moment. I am in the office from 7-3 and we can discuss some options for speed enforcement.

I will, thanks

I see the PD put a speed indicator on Spruceland. Only tickets in hand of the offender will really work. But still appreciate the the PD's help.
