Resident urges clearer 15 mph school‑zone signage on Long View Drive
Summary
Resident Don Halberg told council the only 15 mph speed limit applies when flashing and that drivers entering the roadway from the school lot face a 25 mph limit without a posted 15 mph sign; he asked council to review sign placement to improve safety.
During public comment at the April 20 meeting, Don Halberg of 115 Long View Drive said he lives at the last single‑family house before a school property and urged council to review school‑zone signage.
Halberg said a 15 mph speed limit applies only while signs are flashing and that, when the signs are not flashing, the municipal speed limit reverts to 25 mph. He told council parents leaving the school parking lot do not encounter a posted 15 mph sign and urged the borough to "pay close attention" to sign placement to ensure drivers slow near the school.
Council thanked Halberg for raising the concern; no formal staff action was recorded in the meeting minutes on this item, though the topic relates to public safety and traffic signage.
