Where are the worst locations in town for speeding drivers?

 

Fairview Road SOSS School zone. This school zone is mostly ignored by drivers. I watched a vehicle doing 21kph over the limit heading towards the east crosswalk while two young children (about 7 years old) were running towards it on the sidewalk. Frightening to say the least. The driver braked heavily and stopped for them.

Tuc El Nuit Drive. Stats above.

Highway 97 Northbound traffic at the Road 1 traffic light. Use extra caution at that intersection even if you have a green light!
