On my way home from the ferry, I came across the fatal crash scene in which three people died on Highway 104 in Kingston, Nov. 14.

I have lived in Kitsap County for six years now and am always terrified by the speeds that people force you to drive on these narrow two-lane roads.A few years ago, the speed limit on Hansville Road was lowered by 5 mph in places, and I wish they would do it on Highway 104 as well, as the road is just littered with memorials to dead people.

Everyone is just in too darned much of a hurry. I actually enjoy driving these roads at around 40 mph when there’s not a tailgater on my tail. It feels much safer and you can see where you are in the surrounding countryside.

In honor of these people who just lost their lives, I propose a speed limit reduction on Highway 104 between Kingston and Poulsbo as soon as possible.
