Yahoo! News - Woman Posts Her Own Speed Limit Signs Thu Mar 27, 7:52 AM ET
CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa - A woman fed up with drivers speeding through her neighborhood took matters into her own hands: She posted speed limit signs in her yard.
Conni Morrell, a stay-at-home mother of three, bought the large 25 mph signs on the Internet. She also put the white signs up in a neighbor's yard.
"I see people speed so much I can tell how fast they are going," said Morrell, 32. "After you see them go 25 (mph) once, you can guess. I wouldn't doubt if there are some going 50."
Morrell started lobbying City Hall to do something about speeders after her family moved to the upscale neighborhood three years ago. Neighbors lobbied for a stop sign at a nearby intersection, but the city decided against it.
Morrell took down her signs last week when she learned that the city was measuring traffic volume and speed in the neighborhood. She didn't want to skew the results.
