I totally agree. I live in the neighborhood and have occasionally driven through the park to get to another destination. My "use" of the park may have been different (not stopping) but my intentions were to go the long route, instead of the quickest, to take an enjoyable (and slow) scenic drive through the park. It would be easy to put up some speek bumps, ban trucks, etc, to curb traffic. They need to think more creatively to solve such problems.
