Hello fellow frustrated residents who experience disregard for the school zone at Dillworth and Heberton/Meadows.

 

This morning as I stopped at the intersection on Stanton Ave heading across Heberton/Meadows toward Highland, a SCHOOL VAN sped through the stop sign at Meadows (not stopping at all) and turned left onto Stanton at a disturbing speed.  I was in disbelief.  Drivers often skim that intersection and treat the stop signs as optional, however, this was at 9:20 AM, some children were still about, the markers were still in the cross-walks, and this was a school van. 

 

My question is:  How is this type of negligence kept in balance?  I did record the van license number, it's van number and the color of the van.  I caught a glimpse of the 2 females in the driver/passenger seat, but I'm not sure where to begin. Is the van line run by a private company or by the school district?   

 

It made me very angry to see this blatent disregard for safety.  The fact that it was a school van brought my thoughts to post here.

 

Thanks for comments.
