Because of increased traffic cut-throughs - At the intersection of Fort williams Pkwy and Tupelo Place drivers routinely speed and run through the stop sign. WHERE ARE THE POLICE? WHY DOES THE CITY ONLY PUT SPEED SLOWING DEVICES IN SOME NEIGHBORHOODS? HOW ABOUT A LIGHT DEVICE - SOMETHING???
Running a stop sign is by definition unsafe and unlawful. I have almost been run over by drivers like you who think they are paying attention but really are only looking for other vehicles.
It would help if the Alex. police monitored the speeding on Ft Williams Pky and the running of this stop sign.
Also - when the City has been asked to install speed bumps - they say there is no money for them. Yet - in Del Ray area (Russell Rd I think) they are installing NEW speed bumps. Appears to be an inequity.
Also - on any given Friday afternoon - I have seen a dozen cars blow through this intersection going over the posted speed limit.
... It makes one wonder if it takes a death or other tragedy to get something done. At that point it may take a law suit against the city for negligence.
This situation is worse. Alexandria police should at least monitor the intersection. Also - the Stop sign is now not visible due to overgrowth of tree branches
