Coffee,
I hate to do this as I usually try not to share personal information (Its really none of your b – i beeswax), but I have been on route 202 many a time. If you go to the Wesley Hills area of Monsey when traveling South on the Palisades, it is often shortest to go on Route 202. Route 202 is NOT a highway, it is not different from Route 306 in Monsey. A two way street with a line down the center. Much narrower than any of the avenues in Brooklyn or Queens.
There are schools, houses, senior centers and stores all along Route 202. Some parts are more wooded, but that is the suburban nature of the area.
What does sometimes happen is that when there is not much traffic, drivers will speed.
A school sign on the road would not slow anyone down, certainly not a t midnight. In fact a car in front, waiting to make a turn didn’t slow the driver down.
And as it turns out, there was a C of O in place, so there was absolutely no reason for a violation from 3 years ago to be included in the story as if that were the main issue here. It was soooo important for the writer to include information that was meant to rile up hateful comments on the LOHUD website, (the edit above was to change my pet name for that rag) that he spent to the time to put all the unnecessary information in the first posting of the article (and also to talk about the Rosh Yeshiva’s home) instead of doing just a bit of research to find out the tactual current situation.
