Do our trails need speed limits? That was a question posed last night on NBC 5’s newscast. Neighborhood resident Ted Barker has been talking about this for years. If you don’t know Barker, he complains about a lot of things happening at the lake. He is very involved with things happening at White Rock, so much so that we have a story about him coming up in January. One of Barker’s major causes is implementing speed limits for cyclists on trails. It doesn’t seem that Dallas officials were big on the idea of 10 mph speed limits. “It just isn’t logical,” the former deputy chief of the Northeast Division told me when I chatted with him about it. But following a death on the Katy trail, and a couple publicized accidents at White Rock Trail, the city’s collective attitude could conceivably change. Angela Hunt, in this story, expresses concern and speaks of the arguably illogical 10-mph limit. And when Angela speaks, people tend to listen. Me? I truly wish we could police ourselves on the trails, but perhaps that’s too much to ask.
