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.
