seb47 Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 Our neighbour has a droit de passage over our land to his house. We are good friends and he generally drives carefully and respects our presence, though many of his visitors treat the small track as an autoroute - including la poste. We are thinking of putting up a speed limit sign. Has anyone found a supplier of eg 10 kph signs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anton Redman Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 Speed humps = Les relantisseurshttp://roanne7.net/article.php3?id_article=84Print a couple of signs in colour and laminate them ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seb47 Posted March 7, 2008 Author Share Posted March 7, 2008 Thank you both for your suggestions. We'll go down the laminated sign route initially as it's cheaper. If that doesn't work will try the ralentisseurs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 Try a farmers or builders supermarket such as Espace Emeraud, or Cana. Perhaps Brico Pro.David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoverfrog Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 "resurface" the driveway in lumpy stuff. Signs are only good if respected, so if not then make it so they can't do more than 10 mph! Not your jurisdiction? Well just happen to let fall some 'big' pebbles and make it so that they can't exceed your speed limit...I think they call that the 'ways and means committee' :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
