People down the road from me just moved in recently and drive like a bat outta hell down my road. I have a young child that likes to play in the yard every evening after we get home from work and although Mrs. TDsngumbo and I try our best to watch him and make sure he doesn't go near the road as much as we can, we understand the reality of the situation is that we can't always prevent him from going into the road.

I'm thinking of buying a couple of these to put in my yard along the roadway soon. What are the OT's thoughts on these signs? Would I be being an arse to do this or would I be justified?

You admitted to there being a problem with people driving down the road, and continue to let your child play in the front yard. If something happens, that's on you

There's a house in my neighborhood that has those. Seems like a douche move but whatever floats your boat.

I swear that's my next plan of action. I've already called the cops and asked them to come chill and run radar but they won't show up. Maybe next time I should call and tell them a black guy with saggy pants is walking three pit bulls on my road

What about the none birthers? Are they/we excluded from your "do good for the children " charade?

I hate to sound unfeeling, but nature has a way of selecting the fittest, most capable among us to make it in this world.

That's not going to make any difference in how the people drive. Just have your kid play in the back yard.

I hate them when I am driving, but speed tables are the only effective thing to slow drivers in neighborhoods.

Signs like this aren't for you.

I’m currently having the same dilemma

Tug boat rope across the street is the way to go... cheap, can be moved daily, and really effective at slowing cars down




Also, the same people (pecker) who bitch and moan about kids in the street are probably the same ones who say that kids these days need to put the tablets and phones down and play outside.... can’t have it both ways
