Description
very short and narrow street being used as a short cut . People ignore that there is only parking on one side of the street . Our Neighbor across the street has had their cars struck twice by speeding cars that did not stop. One head on collision in the past year. This street should be made a one way but numerous calls to the city and police department have had no results at all.

To begin with, I'm sorry to hear about that crash; it sounds terrible.
I wonder if it would help if parking were allowed on both sides of the street? (see photo). In Portland, all neighborhood streets are two-way and parking is always allowed on both sides. On the narrower streets, this means there isn't space for two cars to fit side-by-side between the rows of parked cars. If you're driving on one of these streets and there's a car coming toward you, you have to back into someone's driveway to make room to let them pass. The result: nobody drives on narrow residential streets unless they live there or are on a bicycle.

Which street are you more likely to speed down?
