Description

The school traffic zone on Prouty Rd. for Hershey Montessori School is a small zone with blind spots just outside of the zone. Drivers are continuously speeding of upwards of 40 mph through the zone during warning hours. The south side of the zone is below a steep grade with a bend, which creates a blind spot for people pulling out and turning into the school parking lot. There is not much reaction time for drivers coming from the south or entering and exiting the school parking lot. In addition, the northern side of the school, which includes a fire department, is an upward grade toward Rt. 84. Drivers coming from Rt. 84 pickup speed with the downhill grade and pass through the fire department zone and faster yet through the school zone.
A sheriff deputy is needed to set a speed trap for several days, followed by a radar speed warning device for an extended period of time. Please address this issue before a truck or SUV speeds through and "T-bones" a small car, killing a parent and small children.
