092314 Minor Accident at 90th Street East and Ave S

Rolled up to the new stop sign soon after a collision occurred. It looks like the woman was distracted while driving. She rear ended the pickup that was just pulling away from the new stop sign. Good thing he was moving as it lessened the impact. Her front plastic parts are sitting on the stop line and just after it in the intersection. She appears to be ok if a bit shaken up and the other driver was helping out.

Be careful out there folks, slow down and put the phones away.

New Stop Sign At 90th Street East and Ave S in Littlerock

 

Big news tonight and a warning.
There is a brand new stop sign on 90th Street East at Ave S. That intersection is now a four way stop! (Many people did not even know that dirt road was there.)

The warning: Right now people are running the stop sign or sliding through it at high speed as the layer upon layer of skid marks demonstrate. There are warning flags but of course most of those running the stop are distracted while texting on their phones! Yup there are still a number of really stupid acting people texting while driving at high speed in a 45 zone. Yes that is a 45 zone, has been for two (2) years now.

Thank you for the stop sign and safe driving!

090314 Repeat Offender

This morning a small white car that has a habit of speeding, passing illegally and the driver is often on his phone did it again. In a 45 zone while my speedometer read 50 this little car comes up fast behind me and is peeking around. It is a fairly narrow road. In the video you will see three sheriff cars and a sheriff truck go the opposite way, then one more car and now the double yellow zone for an intersection with turn lane and a traffic signal.

Zoom there he goes, on his phone, passing in the double yellow zone, in the middle of the intersection, much faster than the 45 limit. I eventually catch up at the next light just as it turns green and zoom he off again exceeding the next 45 Zone.
