Subdivision Speed Limits

we redid our mailbox after it got hit one to many times. Now if it gets hit, it WILL leave damage! BAAHAHABAAHAHA..Brick all around, filled with concrete and dirt. HIT MINE!!!!

hehehe..getting off soapbox laughing:arrow::arrow:

 

Thats why I hate backing out of your driveway. Im super paranoid im gonna hit it hahah.

 

You're really gonna love this, but according to NCDOT mailboxes in the right of way (e.g. next to the road) have to be of "...non-rigid or break away type posts such as a 4" x 4" wooden or small diameter metal pipes..."

"Brick columns or mailboxes on rigid stands such as block, stone or any other type believed to be a traffic hazard will not be allowed within the right of way."

oops...unless your street isn't state-maintained, of course.

 

With a particular nod to Southhills, I don't know about speeders but bejeezes everyone drives down the middle of the freaking road back there. It's a breathtaking experience to nearly have a head on collision each time you get to the crest of a hill.

With the speeding and middle of the road driving, someone's going to catch a cold!

 

Growing up as a kid here in Clayton our mailbox was hit several times in a month period. Dad finally got tired of it and made the post out of 8 x 8 posts and he also drove railrod spikes into it but left them sticking out about 4-6" at different angles as well.

Never had another problem with the mailbox getting hit after that.

 

DOT

Our neighborhood in Flowers Plantation certainly has a speed problem like most other. We met with DOT to try to install stop signs and/or speed humps (speed bumps are not allowed). They will review the possibility for installing stop signs (and there are a whole host of scenarios in which they will and will not be used). On the speed humps, they are allowing neighborhoods to install them with a few things of note - you must get 70% approval of the residents and they must be installed per DOT specification at the cost of the neighborhood which also includes a design firm plan. This of course only applies to state maintained roads.

 

:lolops..Im in a cul de sac. Maybe they wont find me:lol: Noone has been said anything yet.I dont think they will find me.
Guess post person could turn me in. Then I just let the rottie out. OMG JUST KIDDING!!!:lol:

 

Good luck complaining to the JoCo sheriffs office. They will not do anything unless they see it.
This is from personal experience.

 

Why would they do anything unless they see it or you have viable proof to show to them? Would you prefer that anyone be able to submit a plate number to them and they pursue it? They really don't have the time or resources to chase down folks they can't ticket or prosecute.

If it is a non state maintained road and everyone living on it agreed I don't see why you couldn't get something like this.

I've seen them in neighborhoods in Raleigh

 

There was a guy tried to use my road as a drag strip after the fourth time I decided to go to the road and slow him down. By the time I got to the end of my driveway my neighbor who's. JOCO was home pulled his car across the road. Kid got caught me I was standing there cracking up.
