This is a helpful reminder to drivers traveling north and south on Maple and Ash streets. These streets are not the designated North/South Freeway, there are no posted 55 MPH signs to be found. There are however, several schools and designated crosswalks on both streets.

While driving both directions daily, I see more and more drivers easily exceeding the speed limit. It’s time to slow down, people! Do the research: speeding to and from stoplights saves little time, while slowing down may save lives.
