Early efforts to curb speeders on Innes Avenue were vigilante affairs.

The above unnamed individual, in the late 80's, tired of having his car plowed into by the speeders on the Hunters Point-Innes curve, took matters in to his own hands. He said it worked quite well until DPW came and dismantled it, replacing it with a regular sized sign.

Ultimately IBNA asked DPT for help with the situation. Their solution, after extensive testing, was to raise the speed limit from 25 to 35. When asked about this "solution" to speeding, they answered that 25 was considered to be a speed trap by law enforcement and that 35 was much more enforceable.

We hate to quibble, but we've noticed that raising the speed limit hasn't slowed anybody down the least little bit.
