Exactly the title. My house is situated at beginning of the block and my ‘kids at play’ and ‘slow down’ signs do not stop my neighbors from slowing down when approaching our street.
I lecture my kids every time we go outside on street safety, and they know not to just run out for their ball without looking, but they’re kids, and I’m not about to wait for the day they get too excited and lose their presence of mind because the ball got away too quickly all the while an SUV comes into the block and… this thought crosses my mind each day.
The thought leaves me paranoid and at this point I just want to completely block off the street and say it’s off limits (unless we’re out for a bike ride).
I was looking into Amazon for traffic cones to place as boundaries at the end of the driveway (where the driveway and sidewalk meet) and notice how expensive the heavy duty, legit traffic cones are. Is there a place that might be selling these in bulk for a cheaper price? A place possibly giving any old ones away? Or any other ideas you might have. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
Edit: I’ll add here that while I can talk to my neighbors, my statement referring to them blankets over Amazon, UPS, USPS, Door Dash, Uber and Fresh deliveries. I can’t stop people from slowing down, everyone is hard at work and needing to meet deadlines or find where an address is, but I suppose I can control my end and simply limit where my kids play to avoid getting hit.
