Re: Maybe speed bumps will slow 53A St. drivers, letter to the editor, May 22
Joyce Robinson brings up a good topic. I wonder what it's going take to slow traffic down on 53A Street. Maybe it's somebody getting killed, like a child.
I realize people don't want to fight their way through all the traffic lights on 56th Street, but when they're speeding along 53A Street, they usually end up going through an orange or even red light.
Robinson is right: put three speed bumps, one at a crosswalk, since people will not slow down because police cannot be everywhere.
Ask the people who have speed bumps in Beach Grove if they help slow down the traffic and do they mind having them. I think not.
I would advise those in charge of our roads to think about doing something before someone gets badly injured or killed.
