[WSBARP] Speeding Easement Users

[Douglas Scott]

I have counseled clients to place speed limit signs which have worked with
reasonable neighbors. What does the owner of the property say?  Before
installing speed bumps you might inquire with the local fire dept to see if
they approve as the bumps can be obstacles for emergency vehicles. If they
give approval, then it becomes that much more reasonable to install.
