Speeding down residential streets

On White Street in Shrewsbury, I constantly observe cars flying down the street going 50+ mph. There are kids, mothers walking with strollers, dogs, teens skateboarding, etc. I've also encountered more than a few road rage incidents myself, while on my own street. A woman driving a mercedes cut me off at the last second while I turned onto the street, and then proceeded to stop dead in the middle of the road. I went around her, and she followed me to my home and threatened me. This is unacceptable behavior, and I'm really tired of it. That was NOT the only incident on my street. I've only seen a cop once or twice on this road, and I think that's part of the problem. Something has to be done about this insane speeding and driving behavior. This is a residential street, and people need to stop using it as a highway.
