Last winter, after the Drive reopened with 8' snowdrifts, a driver passed and almost hit me as I slowed to turn left into Pocosin Fire Road...just one of my many experiences with aggressive drivers in the Park. Respectfully, D. Lepkowski

You can't expect to drive 35 mph and enjoy the scenery and wildlife without speed demons coming up right behind you and riding your ass until you either speed like them or pull over to let them by.

]]> Sun, 11 Jul 2010 07:37:36 UTC 8123162 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/8119455?utm_medium=rss Speeding on the Drive has become a real problem. Animals, motorists, and bicyclists are really in danger these days. Two bears have been killed by motorcycles this year and last year, that I know of, and probably more, since none of this is reported on the news. The motorcycles are the worst problem and are dominating the Drive. They should not be allowed at all. Where are the rangers???? We drive slowly to enjoy and protect the animals.

]]> Thu, 8 Jul 2010 05:34:59 UTC 8106759 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/8104650?utm_medium=rss Please do something. I am afraid to visit anymore due to the aggressive driving.

]]> Thu, 8 Jul 2010 01:59:11 UTC 8104650 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/8104012?utm_medium=rss The Park has been established for the natural world and the natural world should remain at the center of all things for the Park. The increase in wild animals death due to speeding is just not acceptable, we must honor all wildlife and not put it at risk. I can only believe you know this more than anyone else... you are the stewards. I know you will do the right thing and I support all actions to protect and honor the Park and its wildlife.

Enough human tragedy, enough animal tragedy!
Speed Bumps and other calming measures, please!

]]> Thu, 8 Jul 2010 09:53:07 UTC 8101687 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/8101631?utm_medium=rss I would love to see speed bumps spaced at regular intervals throughout the park as a way of slowing down the traffic. This would allow natural speed control and not interfere with the wildlife, as well as require no extra law enforcement. However, extra radar control of the park would also be very effective and is needed in my opinion.

]]> Thu, 8 Jul 2010 09:46:33 UTC 8101631 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/8101069?utm_medium=rss My family and I have been coming to the drive for 45 years, and in just the past couple of years have seen the speeding out of control. Most of the problem is the motorcycles. They are taking over the Drive, killing at least 2 bears in the last two years, and at least one motorcyclist. Motorcycles terrify and disturb the wildlife, and we citizens do not know how many other ones have been killed, since these accidents never are reported on the news. Please ban or curb motorcycle traffic.

]]> Thu, 8 Jul 2010 09:00:31 UTC 8101069 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/8100703?utm_medium=rss Shenandoah National Park is my favorite place in the east, and I visit it several times a week. We always drive SLOW: 30 MPH (below the speed limit) to ensure the safety of wildlife. It is my opinion that driving the speed limit or slower is necessary for the animal's safety, after all it is they're home, not ours.

It isn't pretty. If someone wants to take himself out by driving like a fool, fine. But I object when they threaten mine and others' well-being particularly that of the Park's residents -- the animals. We're the visitors in their home, if a reckless driver can't show respect by obeying the POSTED speed limit, ban them!

This is not a freakin' highway built for speed, it's a biway through a national wilderness which thousands of animals call home. It is a privledge for us to have such a road through SNP's natural world and the animals there deserve our respect. It is their world in those mountains, not ours. So many people think Skyline Drive was built for their joy rides.
