Woodside slows speed limit on Manzanita

Original post made on Jun 1, 2017

A lower speed limit is coming to Manzanita Way, a two-lane byway that connects Sand Hill Road to Mountain Home Road in Woodside. The road is currently posted at 25 mph, but the town is reducing that limit to 20 mph, given the road's curves, narrow aspect and dense foliage.

Its a simple fact that traffic will go through side streets. These are public roads. Same rules apply. Of course, everyone should obey the traffic rules and they should be enforced. Whether they are automobiles, horses, or bicyclists.

To blame Google Maps or Waze is looking to the past. Asking to block information sources that are public and serve the greater public on behalf of the local residents is against the law. Of course I don't like it as I live on one of them. But to refuse to recognize the era we live in is to have our heads stuck in the sand. This is not 1950. We do not have a right to stop others from using our public roads as we are a public town. If we want to do that, then the town would need to be privatized. And I don't know if the residents would want to do that either.
