Way to go fox 2. Blame the intersection and not the jerk that was doing 50 mph on a side street. Enemy award winning

[@um...nevermind8918]

To be realistic, the intersection itself isn't dangerous. There's clear visibility from every angle. It's the jackholes that keep speeding through the neighborhoods, like the streets are raceways. This crap has been going on for years! At least the speed humps are helping.

[@ashleyrobison2843]

Yes agree they are speeding all threw the city an speed bumps are the best way to slow them down I hate them but I don’t drive that way but I do except why we do have them so I deal with it but just be nice not to but to keep stuff like that or even worse from happening I say put them in an take driving away from those who speed an lock them up for a year to drive this point home to those who think they can do as they please with a few tickets or license taken we all no they will still drive lock them up well that will show they are not playing games an what happen to low riding the slow an low so you can be seen ? Guess the kids today are so skinny an ugly they don’t want to be seen

I guarantee you the driver that caused the accident doesn't have a driver's license or insurance. No one says what we all know. The police and prosecutor do not charge people for driving without a license or without insurance. I doubt the prosecutor will file charges against the driver who caused the accident.

They can still file charges on that individual and they will have to go to court, regardless… Trust, it will be one ☝🏾 hefty fine… And as for the person that got struck, they can go after the person on civil charges if possible…

[@birdflipper]

there are stop signs at almost every corner going up Cherokee from Jefferson to gravois so a lot of drivers do a "Missouri rolling stop" while traveling up Cherokee, but to be going that fast the driver was likely blowing every stop sign without even slowing down. They're lucky they didn't kill somebody. I hope they learned their lesson!

Honestly that shouldn't even be a thought. People just need to follow the laws of the road. The sign behind the anchor shows 30 mph, caution children, you have cars lining both sides of the street, a stop sign and other signs I can't see. I get why you say to produce obstacles but people will always find a way to be irresponsible. Charges and penalties would be my suggestion. Take away their freedoms, no driving/no license, fines, community service, classes & Duke people straight up need jail time IMHO. Personally I think they should start severely penalizing the violators. This person needs to have time behind bars.

[@ryanstlarbuckle]

I don't know this specific neighborhood, but there are lots of areas I drive around to explore, but tree-lined neighborhoods (like this one) hide the stop signs on occasion. Even going 30mph can be dangerous if you're not familiar with the area. The city could help by installing larger, LED-lit (solar-powered) stop signs. We've all seen those... If that doesn't help, then we're talking about negligence and legal prosecution to the driver(s)

People are forever running stop signs and red lights. I've been sitting at a light with two people in front and two in back, and then some Yahoo runs off the road, around all 5 cars to run a red light.

Besides pure ignorance an no self respect or respect for anyone in public that person needs to be locked up an license revoked for 20 years after a 6 year jail sentence with no early out. That car was moving fast deadly fast for those streets. I an neighbors go to those like him that drive that way an let it be known try it again on my block an we will have a problem there are so many kids out here I have no kids but I don’t want to see a punk driver kill one of them throw the book at him show others we are not putting up with that shh all summer people be loud show up to there house I do they want to pedal drugs on my block in front of my home an I let them no hey you do that on my block you will regret it an u do what you do but keep it on your block not mine I don’t need those Illinois her ion addicts on my street throwing their needles out tons of kids play out her so respect what I say or see what I will do just a respectful warning an they all stay away from my street . People in stl are good people even if they do bad things. You can’t let them walk on you is all I’m a white boy in all black area but they respect a lone guy stepping up to 7 of them . Scary yes but tired of the speeding cars and the Illinois dopers sitting on my street those types steal anything for the next fix I love my city born here still here but speeding an the drugs on our streets has to stop that cars speed was very fast I will find it out from replay it actually has me mad they have no skills to drive that way I know they have bald tires bad ball joints shocks brakes an I’m sure much more I see them flip cars over an they just start walking away one cause it stole or a family member’s an that shows the lack of respect they have for anyone or anything ones like that are dangerous for there own good.

They do this everywhere they also use that middle lane down main streets that are usually used for turning into smaller streets to speed down its so scary when I have to use that middle lane knowing that I could be a sitting duck if someone decided to speed down that lane and hit me. Simmering needs to be done about the speeding and ASAP

Exactly! If the driver had looked left he may have seen the car. Don't assume someone will be stopping, wait to proceed until they have stopped. How about driver safety awareness as a secondary cause? However, the guy running the stop sign is the actual cause and I hope he is held accountable. Probably won't be .😡

[@smokensqueal1]

This comes down to the police and prosecutors letting the criminals get away with almost anything. I literally have see drivers go right though red lights in downtown in front of police officers stopped at the lights, and even when there is almost an accident, the police still did nothing. Here is a concept... Prosecute the violators. The number of incidences will drop quite quickly.

[@pramiyaeva4305]

To eliminate this, 5 meters to the intersection point should have a speed bumber that helps each vehicle slow down before the intersection

Looks like it's time to install a whole lot of those dag-nabbit (but obviously are in dire need here) speed humps.

[@DebCnbfre]

It starts with the driver who fails to respect the traffic laws. When stiffer penalties are given. Maybe then they will change bad driving habits. Fail to stop for speeding thru stop signs. Causing harm to others and property damage because they did not respect the driving privileges we enjoy.. Loose your license for a year or two. Might make one think twice. Second, offenders longer suspension of a driver's license. Yet many already drive without insurance, suspended license and even with the expired temp tags. When they know they are wrong and just don't care!
