Well, the problem has been sort of fixed recently, but the Topsham Fair Mall just opened up a back entrance recently during some expansion. Because of that, Bridge St. is a great shortcut between Route 1(major tourist highway) and the strip mall. The problem though is that it’s a 25mph zone due to it being a residential zone. Problem is, the road is long and straight, and has good visibility. I frequently do 30-35 down this road and have no issues stopping for kids.

They tried to solve this problem by adding a few speed bumps, but now I just slow down for the bumps and then do about 40-45 between the bumps to make up for lost time. Doesn’t exactly solve the problem. If anything… it perpetuates it.

Most often any cars on this road will be in what looks like a residential driveway. I got tagged in the morning on the way to work, but they are there in the afternoon too.

I guess too many people have complained. I certainly understand since it’s a residential area, but it really is the quickest way from point A to point B… at least before the speed bumps were installed.
