Speeding Streets in St. George | Baton Rouge News

Cars zooming through St. George’s Country Manor at speeds double the limit have turned once-quiet streets into danger zones, sparking fear among residents—especially parents worried about kids playing outside. New developments like Bellacosa have turned the area into a driver shortcut, and despite speed signs, nothing’s worked. Councilman Andrew Murrell, who didn’t approve Bellacosa, is pushing for speed tables—flatter, less intrusive speed bumps—to slow traffic, but the process is slow and complex, requiring 75% homeowner support, multiple approvals, and engineering reviews. With police stretched thin and safety a top concern, the community’s fight for safer streets is far from over, but they’re determined to make progress by year’s end.
