QUESTION OF THE WEEK-Where Do Drivers Speed Most in Sharon?

Let's see if there's a consensus.

 

We all know there are spots where people tend to speed in Sharon?

Tell us in the comments section which are the most dangerous and might need a raised section, another stop sign, more crosswalks or another measure to slow down traffic. Then next Wednesday, we'll run a poll based on the top five answers we received in the callout.

Lakeview St from Massapoag Ave to Est Foxborough St. This is especially dangerous on account to the day/summer camps on the road as well as the blind curve where Morse St intersects Lakeview.

Furnace St. A narrow,curving street. Since it is a scenic road it can't be widened. Nothing over 25 MPH is safe. Many walkers & joggers. This has been a cut-through for the folks from Sharon Woods and Cannonball lForge. The street was originally supposed to dead end at Gavin's Pond as per agreement with Sharon Woods developers. As with most town-developer agreements, this one never materialized.
Speed bumps would be good. Better: speed "humps.". These are stretched-out speed bumps 6 or so feet long. They don't produce the sharp jolt of a speed bump, and are comfortable at the proper speed. Go too fast and you're in for a wild ride!
Speed humps also are immune from snow ploughs which ride over them rather than scrape them off the road as is true with speed bumps.
