Fed up with speeders

Fed up with drivers speeding through your neigborhood? In San Dimas, residents on one block have taken matters into their own hands -- to the dismay of city officials. According to AP:

Residents on a street have disobeyed city officials by putting up speed-limit signs along their block to combat speeding drivers. Neighbors have been planting makeshift 25 mph signs for more than a year to slow down cars that routinely drive at 40 mph, resident Bryan Harmon said Thursday. The speed limit on the street is 25 mph but it is against the law for residents to put up signs in public areas, city maintenance superintendent John Campbell said. City officials are preparing to install speed humps on the street, he said. "We’re hoping to make things better for them," he said. Danny Leivo, who said his 76-year-old father-in-law was nearly hit by a speeding car, said he will leave his signs as long as the high speeds continue.
