Those emails should be available to the public if anyone is interested.
If it only takes two emails to initiate a speed limit change, I request the stretch through Seagrove be changed from 35 mph to 25 mph. I think the speed of cars past Tom Thumb is a bigger safety issue than on the stretch to Grayton.
I do agree with the speed limit needs to come down in Seagrove and then ENFORCED. I have live next to the Tom Thumb for years and its always been like shooting ducks in a barrel there. What makes it worse is all the vehicles pulling out of the store 20 different directions as well. I don't even want to talk about the gigantic trucks that block the intersection so you can't see oncoming traffic. Oh, and the "pro" cyclists that don't stop for red lights or stop signs let alone pedestrians.
As far as the 45 mph speed limit in some of these areas. I am always driving the east end between Seagrove and Inlet Beach. There is a 45 mph stretch through Watersound. I have encountered many carts driving this stretch when they aren't supposed to. It doesn't matter what the speed limit is around here. People are going to drive the way they want, where they want and how they want with those things. There is never any enforcement to these cart drivers and the owners of the companies can preach all they want about educating the renters on the safe operation of these little carts of death, they are still going to do their own thing and disregard the rules. Plain and simple.
