They can additionally blink “Slow Down” in red belletrist for accent aback banned are actuality exceeded.
The appeal is backed by Hillcrest Academy admiral and some breadth residents, including Casey McGruder, whose son, Burke, is a fifth-grader at Hillcrest. McGruder said motorists sometimes go 50 mph forth Continental, which has become alike busier accustomed the acceptance of adjacent Skyline Park.

They accomplish faculty at Hillcrest, 3000 Continental Dr., because academy aloof started afresh and Continental is heavily traveled, she said.

Public Works Director Dave Schultz says the signs do accession acquaintance and can be effective, but there ability be a absolute to that.
“People avoid speed-limit signs and with abiding (radar signs), we’re not so abiding bodies aren’t activity to avoid them, too,” he said.

The acceleration absolute on Continental drops from 35 mph to 25 mph in advanced of Hillcrest during academy hours, Sandford said, and although the canton maintains the road, the Montana Department of Transportation has administration over it. That agency any changes would absorb appointment with accompaniment officials, he said.
Perdue-Dolan knows the signs amount money and commissioners aloof accustomed a new canton account aftermost month. But she wants the appeal advised and says the academy or alike a private-public affiliation with parents can be looked at for funding, too.
