Please show me, either with mono or polysyllabic words, pictures or quotations from the corresponding law, exactly how any of these points change the fact that the posted speed limit is 15 MPH.Clevis Hitch wrote:Residential district" means the territory contiguous to and including a highway not comprising a business district if the property on the highway for a distance of three hundred (300) feet or more is improved with residences or residences and buildings in use for business;
I think the the problem here is either you guys just skip over the big words that you don't understand or you are ignoring its obvious meaning so I'm gonna point out one more time the obvious true meaning.
con·tig·u·ous   /kənˈtɪgyuəs/ Show Spelled[kuhn-tig-yoo-uhs] Show IPA
–adjective
1.touching; in contact.
2.in close proximity without actually touching; near.
3.adjacent in time: contiguous events.
As much as I liked the hypothetical story (except the very ending it needed some work. Say maybe little Tommy's mom is a doctor and he grabs some syringes full of tranquilizer and puts them all to sleep. Then he ties each one of their heads to a tire and throws the car in to neutral. The only one who survives to tell the tail is the gumby who was still wearing his helmet on the ride home.) how about some real ones:
I have seen the terror in a child's eyes as he thought my car was about to run him over. I'm driving down my street and I notice a kid on the right side of the road looking right for a long time. All of a sudden it hit me that he was probably getting ready to run across the street and so I slammed on my brakes and stopped. He runs across the street and he must have seen my car that was only 10 feet away from him out of the corner of his eye, and while he is right in front of my car he looks left and freezes, staring at my car with a look on terror his face. Lucky for him I was already stopped. I rolled down my window and reminded him to look both ways before he crosses the street. He said "ya ok I'm sorry!" and you could hear it in his voice that he was still in shock about what almost happened.
Once I was driving down my street again and out of no where some kid flies down his entire driveway on an electric scooter and crosses the road just barely missing missing my car. He never even stopped at the end of his driveway to look left or right.
I was driving through a residential area one day, and all of a sudden a kid chases a ball that is rolling from his driveway in to the middle of the road, right in front of my car. His dad yelled stop to the kid at the top of his lungs and he actually stopped right before he ran out in the road. It all happened so fast I don't even think my foot ever got to the brake pedal. The ball made it past my car but I don't think the kid chasing it would have been fast enough to do the same. This same incident has happened to me about 2 other times, only the other two kids saw my car out the corner of their eye and stopped. As fast as that one kid was running after the ball, I don't think he would have ever stopped if it wasn't for his dad actually being there and yelling at him to stop.
The only other person I almost ran over was some goth who was wearing all black in the middle of the night walking in the middle of the road (between the solid white line and the dotted line), not crossing it, walking down it. There was a huge blacktop shoulder he could have walked down instead, and so it was my guess that he was suicidal. Well I didn't end up seeing him until the last second and I did an emergency lane maneuver just in the nick of time before I ran over him.
It's incidences like these that have me driving slow as crap near residential zones. I have learned that kids can come out of nowhere, hopefully none of you will have to learn the hardest way of all. O and teach your kids not to chase rolling balls out in to the street, it's not the classic example for no reason. If you don't have enough free time to teach them, maybe you could just go with the proven shock collar setup.

Look chumps I know that you think that Lee county has a Transportation department and that They have there own rules and regulations but the simple truth is they don't. They go off of the state rules that say the state speed limit is 55 miles per hour.Toy wrote:Bald Rock is not maintained by the State. Bald rock is maintained by the county so it's a county road. You can define residential all you want. Look at the pdf you posted.Thats not true. The State speed limit in Ky is 55 unless otherwise posted.
