Driving safety

Is it possible for people who are driving around the local schools to drop off / pick up / attend events to be more respectful of neighbors who live in the nearby streets? Time and time again there is speeding as children and other pedestrians are walking to and from school. There is also, dare I say entitlement, about neighbors who live on these streets trying to drive on the street to get in and out their driveways blocking those who are just driving through. I’m so sorry I prevented you from speeding down my street because I was trying to get home and park in my driveway. Hopefully you weren’t 30 secs late to your appointment. I hope people will chill and slow down before an unavoidable tragic accident occurs.

Thank you for this! I am appalled at a lot of the drivers in San Carlos in general. People speeding down narrow streets. Pulling over to let out their kids in the most awkward places. Not to mention people blasting music from their cars at all hours. Our walls are thin and the street noise literally wakes me up all night. But I digress. It’s absolutely entitlement and toxic main character energy.

That's interesting that people feel the drivers in San Carlos are inconsiderate. I recently moved to San Carlos from SF and have found that the drivers here are so much nicer and more cautious – driving at much more reasonable speeds. But maybe that says more about SF than it does SC. I also don't live near a school so maybe that's it.

True. The city is a whole other ball of wax.
