The speeding on admiral Hill has gotten ridiculous over the years I remember when SDOT tried a four-way stop at 59th and admiral that didn’t work at all I watched some kids and a crossing guard almost get hit by a car we need traffic cops back at certain times to hand out speeding tickets then maybe they’ll get the point and not speed up and down admiral Hill I commute by bike and use admiral Hill almost everyday

It is time to put some kind of light right in the middle of Admiral hill coming off the bridge. We need something to force slowdowns. Down for speed bumps too.

Was out for a run and then a walk yesterday. Witnessed road rage incident in the morning and then reckless speeding in the afternoon on 35th. Wild, Wild West Seattle roads. 😬
