Trucks and other traffic on Shutesbury Rd

[Shutesbury Road Resident]

There has been an excessive amount of heavy traffic moving at ridiculously high speeds on Shutesbury Road in Leverett. The posted limits are around 25mph and these vehicles are doing around 40mph. This is a windy, hilly road, with many hidden drives, yards with children, and woods with wildlife. These vehicles -- especially the large excavation trucks that slam on their airbrakes in these residential neighborhoods -- need to SLOW DOWN before someone get killed.
