Joe is right about trucks, some local and some that appear to be OTR commercial trucks. Last week while approaching the Downtown Square on Campbellsville Street, I stopped two different times in front of 313 Maple to allow huge commercial semis that were blocking the crosswalk to get off the Square and onto Campbellsville Street. In one instance an elderly gentleman (older than me) was standing on the sidewalk waiting for access to the crosswalk and had to retreat backward toward the Flower Garden Florist building. The trailer's tires crossed over the sidewalk right where he had been standing!

Additionally, for the most part, pass-through vehicle traffic can pass through Downtown more quickly than by using the bypass. If speed limits were lowered to 10 MPH within 600 feet of the Square and around the Square and was enforced, the traffic flow would be calmed so significantly that many of the pass through drivers would voluntarily divert to the by-pass. Local business traffic, tourists and pedestrians would then be able to shop, do business, congregate and generally traverse Downtown more safely and unencumbered than presently!
