The county routinely does traffic studies on roads, because people complain about speeding.
That study found that with nearly 2,500 cars driving through a day, most people obey the speed limit on this road. However, neighbors said they feel otherwise.
The speed limit on Eagle Circle starts at 25 mph on the north end of the road.
