OK here's the story,
the city made 2 traffic circles on a small 2 lane street. The street looks like this:
4way light................0.......0__Dirt road______
Adjacet to the dirt road is the back side of a high school. Signs posted to yeild to traffic inside both circles.
My issue is people basically parking in the circles to let their kids off for school and kids walking thru the circles and down the street 4 across and not on the very wide winding sidewalks.

Should I call the city who built the thing or the sheriff who enforces trafic law?
This was supposed to be "traffic calming", looks to me like real shortly is gonna be accident city. We've already seen people using the circles as a mini race track.
 
I guess it is a matter for the police...squished high school kids don't look good on their reports.

Or the JR high kids that are headed to the other side of the light.
Guess it's time to call Andy and see if he'll send out Barney with his 1 bullit.
 
Nah, Ernest T comes prepared with pretty rocks from the mountains.
Well Andy is gonna let all the guys know and see if they can't start "nailing" some people.
I wonder if Ernest will share a little of that shine he's got in his back pocket? :)
 
We had something similiar happen. Two traffic circles were installed in a road that they really didn't belong in. People sped through them, sometimes causing accidents. People called the police for enforcement and then the city to complain about the circles themselves. A couple of months later, the circles were removed.

I wish, They can't get a firetruck through it's so narrow without driving over the little circle island in the middle.
Just hope the call to the desk sarg does some good for now.
