Speeders endanger the neighborhood

My name is Justin. I am 9 years old and am a home-schooler living in Marysville. I am concerned about the many people who don’t follow the speed limit in our neighborhood.

I think people are speeding because drivers are talking on their phones, they forget to watch for kids playing, and they are in a hurry. They don’t expect kids like me to be out on school days, getting exercise and fresh air. I am home during the day and see speeders driving over the speed limit (25 mph).

I am writing to ask people to slow down, stay off the phone and keep an eye out for kids all day long. I try to watch for cars when I ride my bike or walk and I would like people to do the same for me and my friends and neighbors.

Thank you.
