It is the parents responsibility to watch her child. If her child bolts into the street the parents ARE NOT watching their child well enough. Perhaps the child is too young to be playing unsupervised in the front yard by the road.
However, if your neighbor blocks the street with cones and signs I would call the police and report it. That is a lot more dangerous than people who are driving the posted speed limit.
This is EXACTLY correct, OP. It's all that you need to know or care about.
This movie this song is in is "The Crossing Guard" and it's the same type of situation. You say you didn't see any kids = there was a kid I knew in grade school who was hiding from his friend as a joke in a pile of leaves at the curb and was run over and killed.

He's just being a jackass when he doesn't need to be.
Please. Take some personal responsibility. Posted speed limits are ALWAYS lower than they need to be as it is. If you don't want cars traveling by your house, move somewhere where you won't have that problem. Personal responsibility.
No, the statement I was addressing is sometimes you don't see kids, particularly if you aren't looking for them. I do think it's just asinine to get your panties in a bunch over something so trivial in the grand scheme of things. Go to the Apartment or Condo office and raise hell, better yet, get a petition going and have people sign in it - or just slow down. All this anguish over a few feet of space - I'd get a new hobby.
