The twists and turns certainly make some roads more dangerous than others for pedestrians. I fully understand that emergency vehicles are concerned about speed bumps, but the life and death issue might be a more immediate issue for people and dogs. Perhaps random speed checks by the police would help, since those flying down Weston Road are probably using it as a cut through. If the town has a reputation for random speed traps, people will be more careful.
