People drive 60MPH on this road. Put the stop sign back or at least have police officer start writting tickets. Traffic is INSANE in Seymour now.

If you drive less than 60mph a school bus will plow over the top of you. About 2 weeks ago in the rain I followed a school bus at 62mph through the curves on Boyds Creek below the school.
Calling the principle does little good. I guess we just have to have a few accidents and injure at least a dozen students before someone takes action.

The school district should follow up on the bus driver. They are libel if they slough off complaints and the feds take a dim view of districts that don't follow up with their drivers when a CDL is required.
