Hello Lincoln Talk! My partner and I recently moved to Weston Rd, and we walk our dogs along the road on our way to safer trails. While the posted speed limit is 25 mph, cars regularly exceed 35-40, especially during the rush hour surge. Some of you may have seen me wildly gesturing to cars to slow down. I have been feeling increasingly unsafe walking, as cars can't see around the bends of the narrow road, and I feel as though it's only a matter of time before one of us gets hit.
Some sort of speed bump, traffic calming measure, or just greater enforcement is needed on Weston Rd to avoid dangerous situations and an inevitable injury. For Lincoln residents who commute by car on this road, I am begging you to slow down and show a bit of concern for your neighbors who live here.
