It has become a game to see how fast they can trip. The worst by far on the one on Foothill Blvd was an Audi A8L, no front plate that tripped it at 83mph in a 35mph zone. This warning is at a unprotected crosswalk serving 3 schools on Foothill Blvd. Despite requests no light has been put up there, and without an officer there 24/7 people ignore the speed warning and people in the crosswalk.

Many people seem to think that speed limits only apply when there is a police officer around. It's definitely a problem in the area I live in too. Some cities have gone as far as installing permanent radar speed signs that flash "slow down" when you exceed the speed limit, but lots of drivers have even turned making those flash into kind of a game. I lived in Monrovia for 3 years (from 8 to 11) and I remember being able to ride my bike or skateboard around without having to worry too much about speeders.

I'd be curious to know what actions they'd taken to permit the street for parking. Is there a neighborhood council that can petition the city on their behalf? As for speeding - the shame is that cities will rarely take any action until enough accidents prove it would be financially feasible to install lights or add police to monitor the traffic.
