Why Do So Many People Speed Down This Road In WNY?

Why Do So Many People Speed Down This Road In WNY? I ve lived in Western New York my entire life, but I haven t lived in the same town the entire time. I spent most of my time growing up in North Amherst and then in 2013, I moved to Hamburg. I currently reside in South Buffalo, which I m really enjoying. I spent five years living in Hamburg and it s where my parents still live. I went to Buffalo State College for two years, so I drove down Route 5 (Lake Shore Road) nearly every day during that time. The stretch of road between when the expressway ends at Ridge Road and to the Ford Plant is a stretch of road too many drivers speed down. In fact, you could also say that about the intersection at Big Tree and down through Wanakah.
