> It would be very difficult to accidentally find yourself on this street, driving quickly.
As a parent of a 6 years old, I always assume all drivers are not paying attention to the road but rather to their phones when my kid is playing in the street (with supervision because I don't know if he will react quickly to a car coming his way)
It sucks, because I used to play in the street without supervision (to my best knowledge). But today, cars are faster and drivers are more distracted.
That's exactly why I'm sad of the precautions I take. Back then drivers had less distractions while driving. Of course there was the occasionally distracted driver but nowadays is more common than what it used to be thanks to the smartphone.
Teach your kids to move out of the street and stand in the sidewalk or yard. My 3 year old is trained to do this and will do it on her own, still working on doing it 100% of the time.
Neighborhoods have not gone up in speed limits it’s 25 in residential streets unless you live directly off a main road.
