Highway 27 has become a raceway
It was gratifying to read of the police department’s taking notice of speeding drivers on Signal Mountain Boulevard.
Perhaps the traffic division will consider extending that vigilance to the narrow, crowded stretch of Highway 27 between Signal Mountain Boulevard and the river, where motorists and large trucks routinely exceed the speed limit by 10 to 15 mph and generally violate every other safe driving practice.
There is no noticeable police presence there, and there has been none in recent memory. Attention to this might have helped prevent the bridge from being the raceway that it has become.
