We played in the street all the time growing up. Dead-end street. Any kid calls out "car" and we know to get out of the road for a minute.

- JoshTriplett 10y agoIt's a lot more reasonable in a dead-end or cul-de-sac, where any car is either going to one of the houses there or got lost, and where no vehicle should be moving at more than walking speed.
- jdbernard 10y agoThe same logic applies to non-dead-ends if only people who live in the neighborhood use them. That's why people don't want "their" neighborhood streets used as cut-throughs.
- idbehold 10y agoThen those people should move to dead-end streets. Because again, it isn't "their" street. It's the public's street.
- jdbernard 10y agoYou are correct. It is not "their" street. However, it is not unreasonable for people to expect that neighborhood streets not be flooded with traffic beyond what they were designed to handle nor put to purposes for which they were not designed. It is a public street that was designed to service the neighborhood and the traffic traveling to the neighborhood. It is not a highway.
