" I have been passed on Peck St. 4 times recently. The speed limit is posted 30 mph. These young new people might not know about the boy that was hit and killed on this street 5 or 6 years ago. Good people in this town slow down in this woodsy residential area...slow down for the kids. "

" Oh, the safety corridor is patrolled, when possible. Troopers tend to have to run from call to call, getting little time for proactive patrol. Do call in reckless drivers while they driving recklessly. Get as much detail as possible including vehicle description, driver and passenger description, location and direction and exact violations. If a trooper or police officer is available, they will try to intercept. "




STOP DRIVING SOOOO SLOOOW wrote on Jul 22, 2008 9:02 AM:

" I drive fast on these roads, because just as you get mad at us who drive over the limit, many of you drive way under the limit as well. This is a two way street, no pun intended, we gauge our leaving time based on traveling the speed limit to our destination. Slowing a whole line of traffic down is the same thing, against the law!! If you were to pull over and let us pass, traveling so fast would be minimized. Get a life and I hope you get a ticket for slowing us down!!!! "

" same problems every where! the speed limit is a limit. not a required speed. it would be nice if some would at least approach the limit or use a side road. but folks traveling like cruise missles on the cell phone, eating lunch, etc are straight up idiots. (trying to convince my wife to let me move us up there. wish me luck! lived there when I was a kid) "




Possibly underestimated... wrote on Jul 20, 2008 10:18 AM:

" To everybody's the police..... I may have actually underestimated the speed. To clarify, he passed us like we were sitting still both times, and we were driving the speed limit. Maybe you exaggerate when you say that most people exaggerate when angry? I don't think I would be exaggerating when I say that this driver is not a rare example. The various police blotters, and trooper dispatch logs prove it. I think anger at these miscreant lawbreakers is a good thing. "

" Now we need speed limits at the Grocery store? I'm 3rd generation Mat-Su. And assertive and very social. He was probably going 45 in a 55 and the guy passed him at 65. I have this discussion with my mom all the time. She thinks everybody is speeding when they are passing her. But when I say "mom look at you speedometer." Oh, she's going 40 mph. Come on people be assertive! At least do the speed limit.
65 doesn't mean 55 and 55 doesn't mean 45 or 35 God forbid! Get a clue! "

" Remove the Kendall license plate covers and you have described many of these trucks in the valley. Are you sure of the description? 90 is pretty fast to get a good description. Have you ever driven 90 mph? If their foot was really "to the floor" they probably would have been going 100 - 180 mph depending on the engine. "

" If the police see this guy all they can do is warn him. They won't issue a ticket unless they see him doing somthing wrong. And they are not going to take his license away or tell him to get off the road because you said so.
"Must have approached 80 or 90 mph?"
I have found that most people exaggerate when they're angry.
I just followed a guy home from Palmer on the Old Glenn this morning. He drove 31-33 mph the whole way even though the speed limit was posted 55 mph 3 times. I'm not exaggerating. "

" I am so glad that you reported this nut to the authorities. I'm so tired of people who think that they're the only ones in this universe and that we're just in their way. I seriously think most people here are unsocialized. No eye contact, or friendly hellos, they almost run you over in the aisle at the store, like they really don't see anyone but themselves or you must get out of their way. This is a society of people, yes even though we're in remote Alaska. Learn to live with others. "

" Probably the same yahoo who does this through the double-fine safety corridor along the Parks Highway in the morning. I've never seen anyone pulled over through this corridor and I know for a fact it's not patrolled. Safety corridor my foot! "
