This is EXACTLY WHY people need to SLOW DOWN ON OLIVE ROAD!! We have lived on Olive Rd. for 3 years now and EVERY DAY we see people speeding. The limit is only 40 MPH!! I personally have seen someone speeding through the school zone doing 65 (it was posted on the sign what their limit was). At the time I saw this person speeding…..the speed limit was ONLY 20MPH AND IN A SCHOOL ZONE!! TOO many people treat Olive Rd. between Davis Hwy. and Scenic Hwy. like a drag strip. We see so many people walking and riding a bike. People will use that lane to pass people in which is EXTREMELY dangerous!!!! PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS DANGEROUS STRIP OF ROAD BEFORE ANYONE ELSE DIES!!!!
