WASHINGTON, DC-Neighbors in Chevy Chase, Md. are in a heated debate over speed humps.
Morrison Street, a heavily populated block with children, recently installed speed humps in an attempt to slow down the traffic coming down the road. Morrison residents say cars would speed down their block in order to “beat” the newly installed light at the end of the block. Though the humps may be working to slow cars down, they have caused much aggravation with neighbors on a parallel street, McKinely.
McKinely residents say traffic that would normally drive down Morrison, is now diverting their trips down McKinely in an attempt to avoid the humps. Those on McKinely are angered that drivers are now speeding down their block.
The battle between the two blocks has been going on for some time now. The humps can still be found on Morrison, and McKinely residents are still fuming.
I used to live in Chevy Chase. It seems there is always some neighbor drama going on! Haha.
