There is a known speeder in our subdivision.  I have witnessed it many many times in regards to the speeds of this individual.  Just this past weekend I noticed that he was coming up the street at a very high rate of speed to simply turn the corner at a rate that about made his truck go on two wheels.  It is a Nissan 4 door grey truck he drives at least minimum of 48 tp 50 miled an hour and i have clocked him coming around the corner of my house at approximately 38 miles an hour.  I have parked my car out side of the drive way in hopes that it will slow this persons speeds.  He is a person that is old enough to no better.  I have addressed him many times with no avail.  I am X-Millitary and I don't have a problem expressing my feelings in this regards.  I beleive that this person lives around the 9065 location.  I have yet approached this person as he drives to fast to even consider saying anything as I couldn't get a word in before they are already down the street.  Can I report this to Fort worth PD?  it is sickening me to think of he hits my child or a neighbors kid because he doens't understand speed and stopping distance factors apply. 

Thank you for your post!  There are several people who speed down these streets.  See one almost every day down San Joaquin.  And the stop sign from Salado to San Joaquin is a joke...lots of folks go right through it.  Hope these speeders slow down.  We have MANY kids in this neighborhood. 

Report it to our NPO (Ofc R.E. Williams) along with the approximate times/dates this happens on a regular basis.  He can request additional patrols in our neighborhood to catch unsafe driving.  Also, if you get the license plate, be sure to let him know that also.  He has expressed the willingness to talk to people in our neighborhood about unsafe driving, parking violations, etc.  Usually one visit from the PD is enough to correct most people.

Also:  If you spot someone routinely parking across the sidewalks, that is a parking and code violation.  Notify our NPO and they will write a ticket if spotted, otherwise repeated notices will invite a visit from a police officer for a warning.  Note the address, date/time, and license plate for them.
