As a student at Chapel Hill High School who rides my bike to and from school, I am concerned about the number of cars that speed along Homestead Road during school hours. Even with the recently implemented bike lane along Homestead Road, I ride on the sidewalk because I am worried about my safety. Cars have been registered going in excess of 60 miles per hour in a school zone that has a speed limit of only 25 miles per hour. I urge the police departments of Chapel Hill and Carrboro to enforce the speed limit along Homestead Road, for my safety as well as others.
