Seagrove speed bump...

Needed because no one drives the posted speed limit in that area. Hardly any cars stop to allow the right of way to cyclists and walkers as it is a Yield to them there. Really it's to slow your Butts down so some cars may actually be close to the posted 15mph limit as opposed to the normal 35-45mph people normally drive. This isn't ATL. Slow down and enjoy where your at or better yet try riding a bike in this area save some gas.

Good question. I am not sure they are legal and I think they should be removed. Enforce the traffic laws.

The speed bump is where the bike path runs out of room on the beach side of 30a and crosses over to the north side. It's actually a crosswalk for the bike path as well as a speed bump.

Paint lines and put up a sign, I don't understand the need for a speed bump.

Saw that when I was coming home last night. It wasn't there when I left late morning!

You mean it's it new one? Maybe it was for the new Whisky Bravo place at the Wheel House. Someone actually suggested they erect a stop sign!

I called the WCRD and asked about it, it is legit. It's adjacent to Santa Clara and is being overseen by the TDC. The Walton County Road Department did approve the plans sometime back but have not made the final inspection. They are waiting on the striping and sinage to be completed. I don't care for the bump but am okay with it as long as it is properly approved. My concern was that someone had arbitrarily added it as part of some improvements made to a subdivision or private property.

Is it in the same place, more bumpier than the old one?

This is an additional one a little further east but before you get to Seagrove Plaza.

I think it's just kind of a pointless place to put one. Drove over it on my way to work this morning, and I don't care for it much. BUT, not my decision...

It's where the sidewalk is 4" higher and all the work has been going on.

Isn't that the location of the new TDC parking lot for beach access? That would make sense. If you don't like speed bumps, just lay on the horn every time you go across them. If everyone did it, there would be no speed bumps.

I for one wish they would take down the blue signs, as was agreed upon, before they spread more crap around the roadways.

I agree

Once again the TDC wrinkles the area. How do we get on their upcoming meeting agenda notices so voices can be heard prior to the fact

I'd say jump on the Road Department right now. They will give the final inspection.

I don't think it matters since Dawn did exactly what everyone feared and has stacked the board with her cronies.

You saying this is a lucrative time to be in the volleyball net selling bidnezz?:funn:

Really? This is a big issue. A stupid slow down of 5 secs of your lives? This is a Vacation Area! Hello! WTF is everyones rush! Wake up early and be on time for your work. Going 40mph+ down 30A in Seagrove is Dangerous! Especially this time of year. Old snowbirds, spring breakers, children,cyclists and pedestrians most try to cross 30a just to get to the Path. Most Jagoffs around here won't stop or slow and some even speed up some.
The Bump before 395 going west is Clearly marked YIELD. And 15mph. Who here does both?
I'd say 1 in 10 actually YIELD to anyone. 1 in 50 go 15mph. Maybe.
These have been freshly painted this week courtesy of SoWal prisioners. Also is it smart to use chain gangs in tourist areas? That's another isue.
I guess a loss of a few seconds of everyones precious life is too much to ask in exchange for Public Safety.
Common decency is so Uncommon! Why?
Florida is near the top of all states in pedestrians and cyclists killed or maimed by vehicles every year!
But that's not in any travel brouchers is it.
30A should be a Yield to Pedestrians its entire length. We should allow people to cross in front of us. Smile, wave and be thankful tourists are coming back after last season.
Their $$$$ fuel the economy here, like it or not.

Yep, why anyone would let the volleyball biatch anywhere near a county board is beyond me.

The speed bump is where the bike path runs out of room on the beach side of 30a and crosses over to the north side. It's actually a crosswalk for the bike path as well as a speed bump.

If there is a bump here where the multi-use path crosses 30-A at the old Wheelhouse, I'd say that the bump needs to be raised a bit there. As someone who runs and (leisurely) rides a bike on the multi-use path, I've learned to always YIELD to motorists when making this crossing since about 50% of the motorists don't see or otherwise obey the Yield signs posted for them. I enjoy being able to run, ride a bike, walk, pick up and hold my daughter, etc., and getting hit be a car at that crossing would probably restrict those abilities.

I understand your frustration, I've always stopped there for runners, walkers, cyclists, etc. It never ceases to amaze me when someone leans on their horn behind me.

Exactly; (when driving) we risk road rage from other motorists who don't know why we're stopping. I guess I need to get one of those tall orange bicycle flags and put it on my bike and carry it around when running so people will see that someone is crossing up ahead. I'd feel cool carrying that flag around.

If a speed bump is warranted where the bike path crosses from north of 30A to south near the old Wheelhouse, there needs to be a speed bump in the eastbound lane of 30A at the intersection of Eastern Lake Road. The bike path crosses Eastern Lake Road there, and it is impossible to tell if the eastbound traffic is going to veer left on 30A or take Eastern Lake Road. We have friends who live full-time near that intersection, and they say you can't believe how many times they've seen drivers think that 30A goes straight there when it actually veers left. They have seen several vehicles flip over there. I hate more signs, but maybe there should be a sign there that warns people on the bike path to not assume that someone heading east on 30A is staying on 30A -- they might be heading down Eastern Lake Road. There really needs a speed bump there to slow drivers down who roll from 30A to Eastern Lake Road at high speeds due to the bike path crossing there. There also needs to be a sign that shows that 30A curves left BEFORE the intersection, not after it (because then it's too late).

It has bugged me for years how badly that intersection is layed out, especially concerning the bike path. The problems are too numerous to mention. To me, it's an intersection that would be great as a roundabout, and there seems to be plenty of room to do it nicely. 2 cents worth.
