Descrizione

Too many drivers show a disregard for the 25 mph speed limit and the safety of the residents of Farm Hill Rd. Drivers routinely travel above 50 mph and do not slow down for pedestrians or residents who may be working on their property. As a result, there have been speed-related accidents on the street. Middletown Police Deptartment's placement of a speed-monitor , the kind that flashes one's speed, has no lasting effect. Yes, some drivers slow down while the monitor is in service, but those traveling in the opposite direction continue to go as fast as they please.

Its very easy people. Drive 35-40 mph and everyone should be happy. No one is driving dangerously fast or dangerously slow. Anyone who thinks 25 mph is appropriate is asking to get read-ended and 50 mph is asking to cause damage to pedestrians and/or property. This is easy stuff.

If everyone is obeying the speed limit, getting rear-ended is not as likely. Farm Hill Road "invites" speeding, unfortunately. It's a straight-away with no stop signs. Rte. 17, with its traffic and traffic lights, and Hunting Hill Avenue which has numerous stop signs, are parallel to Farm Hill.
Thus, Farm Hill is a convenient shortcut where speeding is tolerated. That doesn't mean the residents should have to tolerate the dangers and noise of excessive speed.

Take a walk on Farm Hill some day. You'll see, but be prepared to jump onto the safety of a curb!

I almost always drive 50-65 MPH on Farm Hill Road.

I agree with the first comment here, that the road is a convenient shortcut where speeding is tolerated. If you see a car coming, get out of the way because we're not slowing down! We'll be careful to go around you though.

Look at the comment from John because it summarizes the problem of speeding cars on Farm Hill and the attitudes of too many drivers.

The City of Middletown will officially launch SeeClickFix in October 2016. As we ramp up with this partnership, the City is offering a limited number of reportable issue types and we ask that residents submit only the issues listed through SeeClickFix. Other issues not listed through SeeClickFix can be reported by calling the appropriate City Department. If the issue you originally reported has not yet been resolved and is listed through the selectable Issues, please consider submitting a new report through the SeeClickFix system and we’ll be happy to address your concern at that time. Thanks and the City is excited about this new partnership to continue improving Middletown.
