Not only is this notion ridiculous but so are the people who think this is a good idea. Is there not enough hatred of the jews already? Do you really think that trying to bring this plan to fruition would help anything? If your area is so frum, then you shouldn’t have a problem with people driving down your block. The fact that they do only goes to prove that your theory is wrong. In fact, one can argue that it would be discrimination against the non-jews who live in that area. Besides, what do you really hope to accomplish? Do you want to be able to walk down the middle of the street on shabbos instead of on the sidewalk? Do you simply not want to see cars pass down the street because it diminishes your “Kedushas Shabbos”? You have a very simple choice – Move to a place that already has this rule in effect.
I am so tired of people EXPECTING others to accommodate them. WAKE UP – you live in America, and as such you need to follow their rules, not try to force your rules on them
