Children Are Precious - Stop Signs & Speeding

Huntington drivers are notorious for running stop signs, or merely coasting through them. As if that is not bad enough, motorists are often seen driving through residential neighborhoods at speeds above the posted limits.

Our children are precious, and with cars parked on both sides of most streets, the chance of a child suddenly appearing out of know where and darting into the path of a speeding car should be a constant fear for all drivers. And what about our elderly citizens? Sometimes they are not as alert as they should be, and they may walk into traffic not realizing the potential danger.

Let's all slow down and come to a complete stop at stop signs. S-T-O-P means a complete stop! And give some thought to the terrible aftermath of a child or adult being struck by you. How's the driving practices in your neighborhood? Huntingtonians should look out for each other. Right?
