After a conversation with the CHP on scene, this is yet another driver who was traveling at an excessive rate of speed...as most do. We have witnessed countless tragic accidents on our road by irrisponsible drivers. The speed limit is posted on Chrisman as 45MPH for a reason! (Even 45MPH is to fast when one considers that this road is lined with homes). Chrisman Road is our rural residential neighborhood, not a freeway. We pull in and out of our driveways, walk to our roadside mailboxes to pick up our mail, our friends stop by our homes and must slow down to pull in, we are out in front doing our yardwork---do you see us? Notice in photo #3 (Thank you Glen Moore) the home in the background. Just a little bit sooner and this idiotic driver would have plowed into the owners home, or worse yet, crashed into the homeowners themselves while in their front yard. The outcome of this could have been tragic for not only the highly irresponsible driver, but for many other innocent citizens.

We implore the CHP and Tracy Police (bet she was a City of Tracy resident) to make it's presence known on Chrisman Road and TICKET, TICKET, TICKET with no mercy. We need County assistance for making Chrisman Road a safer place to live. In the past 20 years, we have watched our quiet rural road turn into a traffic free-for-all.

Post more roadway signs: LOWER the speed limit to "35 MPH" and post MORE signs, we need "No Passing" signs,(it's a real treat to pull out of our driveways only to find some jackass swerving out to pass the line of cars and facing us head on), double yellow lines with reflectors, put a stop light in at Schulte/Chrisman as well as Cabe/Chrisman.

In the meantime drivers, please slow down while driving through our 'neighborhood' and enjoy the scenery-homes, open fields, the harvest, ring tail hawks, egrets and the occasional coyote~

Hmmm, can someone say "texting"
