Speeders in Canfield Township have some people living along busy stretches fed up.

Township leaders are taking steps to address those concerns with speed tables--but are now trying to catch up with the demand.

"We've had the Sheriffs there, we clock them, we ticket them but we can't be there 24/7.", said Brian Governor.

However, speed tables can, and that's the latest measure leaders have taken to show down speeders. Unlike speedbumps, these speed deterrents are less jarring upon impact, but slow traffic to a safe speed. They are often placed in neighborhoods with long stretches of road like Tyler Drive in Canfield.

"It's becoming dangerous...dangerous for the kids to play out in the front yard, dangerous to play period.", said Michael Calcagni, who has lived along the straightaway for seven years. Calcagni says his mailbox has been hit four times. 

Meanwhile Christen Raybuck lives a couple blocks away, but also expressed concern for kids that ride bikes and play in the neighborhood, adding that speeding hasn't been exclusive to Tyler Drive.

"Today we're going for a walk, we're riding our bikes so we want to make sure cars aren't going over the speed limit.", she added.

In between the two speed tables, both located on Tyler Drive, is where Bob Kanos lives--he calls it a dragstrip.

"It's working so far but we need more deterrents. We need a consistent understanding that this is not a street to drive 40, 50, 60 mph down.", Kanos expressed.

Michael Dicioccio was there the day the speed tables were and says he's seen quite a bit over the last several months.

 

We watch cars bottom out--I think these cars try to jump it to see how high they can get.", Michael explained.

Canfield Township Trustee Chair Brian Governor says they've budgeted for even more of these speed tables which cost around $5,000 a piece.

"We've budgeted right now to put in five, possibly five more this year but we want to see how these ones hold up on Tyler Drive.", said Governor
