Speeding

The Association Board has received numerous complaints and comments of great concern regarding people speeding in our neighborhood. Specific streets of concern are Lakeview Drive and Hawthorn Drive. The Board has been in contact with Clive Public Works, Clive Police, and Clive City Council regarding these concerns and we are continuing to work with these entities to find a solution to the excessive speeds.

The next time you are traveling down a residential street in Country Club West / Woods, glance down at your speedometer. You may be surprised to find that you are exceeding the speed limit. Slow down to the limit or even to a few mph below the speed limit. The speed limit is a maximum speed and should be achieved only under ideal conditions. By traveling slower than the speed limit and thinking about the road, you will better be able to anticipate and react to unexpected events like children or animals running into the street. This slightly slower speed might cost you a few seconds in your travel time but will hardly be noticeable over the course of your trip, and the safety of our residents is well worth it.


If you are concerned about this problem and/or have ideas regarding a solution, please send the Board an email to help us communicate the issues to the City. Just click here to send an email with your thoughts or comments.
The Speed Limit is 25 MPH!
