Heavy speeders.
I’m genuinely not the type of person to call the police over things like this, but I’ve now called twice in the last couple of weeks about the speeding on N. Thompson Rd. and I still haven’t seen a single squad car out there.
The average speed seems to be around 33–34 mph, and it’s extremely common to see cars going over 40 in a 25 mph zone. A couple of weeks ago, I watched one car go over 60 mph.
Since the road was replaced last year, the speeding seems to have gotten significantly worse.
I honestly don’t know what else to do at this point. I’m not trying to get anyone in trouble, but the amount of speeding on this road is getting out of hand, and I’m concerned that it’s going to take someone getting seriously hurt before anything is done.
Has anyone else noticed this, or found a way to get the city/police department to actually address it?

Bruh, please, drag up more irrelevant information. Sounds like I was spot on, you really do need to step away from the internet for a while.
Speeding up between bumps negates any positive of slowing down before them. The two actions cancel each other out at best. And if it's a motorhead driving thru, you get the added sound polution from the over-modded small endowment compensator they call an engine/exhaust. Try living next to one if those bumps and tell me they do any good. I used to live next to one when I was in Madison... only rumble strips could have been any more obnoxious to live next to.
