I wholeheartedly agree that there was a problem this year on the
perimeter road around the north 40. I am one of the volunteers out on
the Flight line for general aviation parking and camping and noticed
cars going 45 (!) on the road around 9-27 with people everywhere.

Totally unacceptable. I brought it up with the powers that be, and the
police/security were going to patrol on a more frequent basis. The last
thing anyone wants is to survive the Green/Rush lake holds, and then
Fisk, only to be clocked by a car on the flight line!!!

Those of us in Flight Line Operations around 9-27 were making a
conscious effort to be good, but we spend most of our time on the grass
and hard surface taxiways anyway, out of everyones way in cars.

I agree there was a problem. There seems to be a significant increase
in the number of cars on the field in the last few years.
Anybody from EAA should give way to a pedestrian regardless, but there
are people from every organization under the sun on the field, and
regulating them is impossible, except to enforce the 15mph speed limit
by the police and security.

I hope that it doesn't take a tragedy to help fix the problem.
We are better than that.
