Drivers have no regard for posted 25mph speed limit on pebble beach lane. There are numerous kids that play yet speeding and stop signs mean nothing to some drivers.

I don't think so. I'm sick and tired of people interfering in law and place it on the children! The law is clear if people are speeding that is an indication the speed limit is to be RAISED not lowered! By law it should be set at the 80 percentile!
Period!
Your kids have no business in the street! They are not relevant because if they are in the street it's is due to your negligence!
The road is not a playground! Stop punishing us just because "you don't like it". it isn't dangerous it's clear that if the majority of people are going X speed than that is the proper speed limit on the road and it's the freaking law.
Keep your kids off the street!

So your doing the right thing and keeping your kids off the street. I assume you agree that all parents should keep kids out if the street. Good that takes that off the table.
I've searched the blotter and see zero, no accidents in the past on that street and certaintly ZERO injuries or deaths on that street ever!
So empirically there is no proof the street is dangerous. However there is imperical data that shows the safest speed is that which the 80 percentile drives!! The studies have been done ad nosium! It is why nearly every state in the union and the federal highway safety board agrees that is what the posted speed limit should be! If 80 percent drive at that speed then that's what the speed limit should be. In my life I haven't seen very many roads where 25 mph is driven by anywhere near 80 percentile when unimpeded!
If people are driving at that rate there is no problem. This texting cellphone nonsense people keep quoting is just that! Studies show that cell phones only barely significantly increased accidents and at the same rate that radios introduced into cars did! Now cellphone do not significantly increase accidents at all, in fact both fatal and all accident counts are lower now than anytime in the past three decades in both numbers and rate!!! You can find this information from the NTSB website where accident numbers and fatality numbers are readily available. Texting is significantly increasing accident counts right now but only to the same extent as cell phones initially did which was the same as radio introduction into vehicles! The facts do not support this nonsense! Experts agree that the human brain adapts to these new stimuli the sane way. As the technology is learned and adapted more into mainstream society that the capabilities of humans adjust. It's no different than learning to drive for the first time, you stink at it! After time you become proficient!
No one advocates that one should drive distracted but this Blame it on "x" mentality holds no water. The number one cited reason for accidents is not speed at all and the number one cited reason has been the same throughout all records! VISIBiLITY!

Please provide a reference to this law so that we may all read and understand it.

Ted, I agree that people shouldn't let their kids play in the street -- most of the kids that play on PBL, Julie, Pinehurst, Michael, etc, are NOT supervised by an adult -- and that's messed up. People need to have some ACTIVE responsibilities for their kids the way that we do at our house.
I also agree with NoName that it would be helpful if you provided an actual reference to the law you keep harping on about.

Just last week we saw a gray Monte Carlo-who lives on Pebble Beach-speed down the street going at least 50-blow the stop sign, and keep going. Nice job. The Black Volkswagon driving around last night with 3 teens in it calling people names and driving away-nice.
