Bellevue Avenue takes the neighborhood traffic from both Brook and
Hermitage Roads, and the cut-through traffic between those arteries.
As most of us can testify, the stretch from the 1200 block shopping area
to the light at Hermitage is long (just over 1/2 mile), straight, and unimpeded.
Hardly anybody obeyed the 25 mph speed limit.
Since the third week of March, 1999, however, the new stop sign at
Fauquier has changed that for the better.
