Molehills On The Mountain

  • Wednesday, December 17, 2014

It just so happens that a very flat, level road on Signal Mountain named Mountain Creek  just received the first ever speed bumps on the mountain in its entire history. Please take the time to drive on Middle Creek and try to figure out how this road could possibley qualify under any public safety criteria for speed bumps, let alone the very first on Signal Mountain. I should also mention that this road has four stop signs on it and two of the stop signs are extremely close to where the speed bumps were installed yesterday.

I probably should not complain as the speed bumps are probably cheaper than buying a 15th and 16th patrol car. And it would be unlikely that two extra patrol cars probably would not help the other 14 cars from stopping the rash of burglaries on Signal Mountain anyway.  

Some might call stopping or solving home invasions too big of a mountain to climb so why don't we just add some molehills to our roads to aggravate our taxpayers instead.
