I live in a rural area in North Brooksville. The speed limit is 35 mph, but cars often go by at speeds well over 50. Speed is definitely a problem on the Kirkland Road, especially in the morning. Speed is a problem near where I live on Larkin Street. It's even worse during the school year.
People come slamming up to the school to drop off their kids.
I have lived on the same farm on Essex Street for 14 years and my fence has been run into 9 or 10 times. I have nearly been rear-ended on several occasions. One of the worst speeding areas in Bangor is on Union Street, from Griffin Road to the Penobscot River. You won't need radar to see it, just drive with the flow of traffic. No one pays attention to the 25 mph zone.
