University Ave. from Hwy 101 most of the way to Hwy. 84

East Palo Alto, CaliforniaDec 15, 20092 Comments

Several years ago Hwy 84 was officially rerouted away from University Ave. At the same time, East Palo Alto reduced the speed limit on University Ave–a divided 4-lane boulevard–to only 25 mph in an effort to discourage traffic. The unrealistically low speed limit has turned this major arterial into one long speed trap.

I WISH this were a speed trap!!! Living directly off of University Avenue in East Palo Alto, I constantly deal with commuters trying to get to where they are going first, neglecting crosswalks and children who walk to school! These people should be ashamed of themselves, and the police officers should be as well for turning a blind eye! Perhaps if the cops did their jobs with the simple things like handing out traffic tickets, people (commuters and locals alike) wouldn't feel like they can get away with anything in East Palo Alto. In the four years I've lived here, I have seen ONE person pulled over on University Avenue, and that was NOT for speeding!

There is a school on University Ave and another on close by on Bay road. Not to mention a library with children coming and again all the time or the MacDonald on the corner. You should slow down!
