Tulsa neighbors fighting back against speeders

Tues, March 28, 2017 — Residents living in the Brady Heights neighborhood of Tulsa are fed up with drivers speeding down their streets.

The speed limit is 30 MPH, but neighbors report seeing drivers routinely going twice as fast.   Recently, a first grader was hit on Denver and suffered multiple injuries.

“We just have cars that fly by way too fast,” one resident said.  “We have a lot of kids in the neighborhood.”

With the blessing of the city, this past weekend, dozens of neighbors shut down the 900 block of North Denver for "Chalk the Walk".  Residents used chalk to redesign lanes, add parking and they created a bike lane.

Residents are also putting signs in their yards warning drivers to slow down.

Next month, the homeowner's association plans to bring recommendations to the city about changing lanes to slow traffic.
