City to slow down speeders
By David Royer/staff droyer@newsleader.com
STAUNTON Virginia - The signs say the speed limit is 25, but recent studies show that more than 600 cars a day beat it down Donaghe Street at speeds considerably faster than that.
Traffic volume has doubled to 5,000 cars a day since the city declared Donaghe a "dangerous" street in 1983. After his wife's car was totaled by a speeding driver last year, Crawford did some research and took his case to the city.
