Many more areas need more traffic control, speed limits lowered etc so happy to see more cops checking speed limits too. So sad to see so many lives lost.
All of SCV needs its speed lowered
I agree!
Most people drive over the speed limit on Bouquet to begin with. It’s become a shortcut for coming and going from Lancaster/Palmdale area to avoid the Fwy. They tend to forget that you can’t do Fwy speeds on a winding canyon road. Changing it more than likely won’t stop it, :(
Survival of the fittest. Raise the speed limit.
Until one of your family members is going the speed limit and gets smashed by an idiot passing in a blind turn going 60. You wouldn’t be saying survival of the fittest then (and yes this happens multiple times a year, i live on this street)…
Nice Zack. You know that was Denna’s step sister killed at that cross.
You’re an idiot Zachary yeah you will say that till it happens to someone love. Maybe keep your heartless comments to yourself. You wouldn’t know what it’s like to lose a sister or a daughter but I guarantee you wouldn’t of said that if it did happen to you.
I haven’t lost a relative, but I have lost people to speeding or intoxicated drivers. The point is, there will always be someone to go faster than the posted speed. Lowering a limit is not going to solve anything. Sorry for your loss Denna.
Yes that road is becoming a speed Hazard expressly motorcycles
I do agree with lowering the speed limit. But…..people need to be more cautious of their speed when it’s raining or icy up there. That’s one of the main problems. They don’t slow down to compensate for those road conditions. You also have a lot of young kids in their fixed up cars thinking its a race track through there.
Wont solve a damn thing. It all starts with education
I hate to break it to you but they are teenagers, they aren’t going to drive slower just because a sign says to. Unfortunately sometimes the only way to learn is the hard way
One of the proposed items is to install straight cones in center of road around turns. I’ve seen it in DC and it definitely gets you to slow down unless you want bottom of your car wrecked. Another is more turn outs built etc, and way more officer patrolling. I live on this street and it’s definitely needed. In the last year, I’ve had two cars go off the embankment into our front yard basically, and this is mostly a straight part of the road (north of the reservoir).
They need to lower the speed limit from one end of Bouquet to the other. Seriously, the stretch from Plum to Magic Mountain is NOT a freeway! Slow Down People!
They need to have a IQ test for SCV drivers. 50% would fail.
Where is mile marker 8
Just a little south of the reservoir, north of big oaks
The speed limit is irrelevant. People just need to use common sense and drive at a speed that is acceptable for the road and weather conditions.
True, but unfortunately common sense in not all that common.
Where is mile marker 8?
Little south of reservoir, north of big oaks
Thank you
I’m sure everyone will obey the new speed limit and no one will crash anymore.
There are many more implementations going into effect other than just lowering the speed limit, in order to enforce that lowering… just saying, i think most people are intelligent enough to know that lowering an obscure number on an obscure back road will do nothing at all. Lol thanks for your cynicism though lol
Anything I can do to help.
Lol I’m sure we could find more stuff you can help with. :)
So let me get this straight, we lowered the speed limit down 10 mph and that is now going to fix and prevent people from crashing or dying? The posted speed limit was not the issue. I’ve driven Bouquet for over 25 years and never had a problem with the speed limit.The problem that’s occurring is people are speeding and not paying attention.Messing with the radio,talking on the phone or texting. Their not paying attention to posted speed limit signs. Their just driving too fast and reckless.By lowering the speed limit you have just put a band-aid on a gash. Your expecting people to be looking for posted speed limit signs and that they’ll follow the rules.Hate to say it but if the city thinks they’ve solved the problem and there wont be anymore accidents , then their idiots.
If you lower the speed limit to 5mph you probably won’t have any fatal accidents. Or better yet, restrict traffic to horse-drawn carriages.
Just do like they did in Placerita. Close it with a barricade to residents only. Yeah, that will work.
Really Zack?
Sad thing is that’s my sister, Zack was apart of my life at one point and he knew her. Makes me ashamed. Last person I expected that from. Like I was saying to him, if he lost his sister he would not be saying that.
I am so sorry Denna!
Sue Callaghan, FYI… It’s above (north of) Big Oaks
