Buellton, CA - Avenue of the Flags

Avenue of the Flags is very dangerous. Cars travel at speeds way over the posted limit of 35 MPH. Some are coming in the north and south ends of town at 55 MPH (personal calibrated speed detector)! I have a report from last week of a family staying at the Flying Flags RV park , that were almost hit by a speeding car while crossing Ave of the Flags near the entrance to the park. 55 MPH! That's not the first report. Numerous cars have almost been hit while leaving Olivera's Automotive, by cars coming in off of the freeway and not slowing through town. 55 MPH (personal calibrated speed detector)! You think you are safe to pull out because the car is far away. That would usually appear safe, until you realize (too late) that they're moving at 55 miles per hour! The City of Buellton will do nothing about adding police/sheriff radar equipped units until someone dies from a speeding car. We hope it isn't you or one of your relatives.

Another dangerous spot is the south-east freeway off ramp at Highway 246. We have so many reports of pedestrians crossing the crosswalk (on a green walk light) and the cars coming up to 246 on the off ramp don't stop to turn east on 246. They do not stop! And they have a red light! They don't wait for on-coming vehicles either! I guess the City is too busy trying to wine-and-dine developers to care about the safety of the residents.

Drug traffic at the Park-and-Ride on the south end of Avenue of the Flags. It's not being patrolled.
