People use this "cut off" to avoid the light at Low Gap and North State and they f~ around the curve in front of 1154 North Oak St., (my residence), at dangerous speeds way beyond what they should be in a residential area. We purchased this residence and moved in on May 19th. That evening at 10:00 PM, as we were finally able to sit down after moving all day, we were astonished to see someone go around the corner heading toward Low Gap Road, cutting the corner so close, they came up on our lawn three feet and nearly hit the moving van we had rented and had parked in the driveway. They corrected just in time and turned off our lawn just in time. This house was a rental and we spoke with the former tenants who lived here for two years. They commented that this has gone on for as long as they lived here. I don't think the answer is to pay a traffic patrolman to sit and give out tickets. The only people who would not speed would be those that were ticketed. There would still be speeders and the danger would still exist. I believe the answer is to put one or two speed bumps or dips along this stretch. We have talked with many of the neighbors and they agree that the speeding traffic is a problem.
