This has been an issue for a long time. I went up the chain of command 10 years ago complaining of the speeding. It resulted in speaking with someone in Albany who said the town had to reclassify the road. Evidently, the road was "listed" years ago, and still is, as a "thorough fare from rt 29 to exit 16 with sparse housing". It needs to be updated! There are many homes now and many people and children walking, biking and waiting for busses. It is no longer allowed as a thorough fare for trucks from rt. 29 to exit 16 but it still happens. And the speeding is simply ridiculus. Especially now that the Target warehouse is at Exit 16. Watch the cars zoom by at shift changes!

THE FIX: REDUCE THE SPEED LIMIT TO 35MPH.

I live on Edie, and I don't think 35 mph will solve it. The road is straight and can handle faster, but not the 80+ that the motorcycles do all spring, summer and fall. A little "surprise" speed enforcement may do the trick. How about it, NYS Police?
