This morning, as the Edgewood school crossing guard stood in the crosswalk holding her stop sign up, I stayed in the opposite crosswalk on Edgewood so my kids could cross the street and get to Edgewood school. A driver attempted to GO AROUND ME as kids were starting to ride their bikes across the street. I yelled at her to stop and she screamed obscenities at me, causing at least one child to start crying. Traffic calming measures around Edgewood School can’t come soon enough.

NHPD's union contract only allows speed enforcement when done on a special detail, which you occasionally see because the city releases a press announcement telling us they got some grant to pay for the motorcycle unit to be out there doing laser enforcement. This is a systemic problem, and that's the root.
The police can not legally penalize someone for speeding unless they themselves witness it. Sad but true.
As much as I want to see more engineered traffic calming measures throughout the city, until the sociopaths are penalized they aren't going to modify their behavior.

Sad that this kind of neighborhood safety initiative is essentially pay to play. But what would it cost to put up a grant to pay for a few hours of enforcement to start getting the point across? Six hours of time would get 8 mornings of enforcement between 8:15 and 9 - that seems to be the busiest and most dangerous time.
Eight scattered mornings of tickets and warnings closed out with a bit of media (NH Independent, WTNH?) telling the story might really get the point across to at least one or two people.
Any reason we couldn't crowd-fund it from within the community?
