City says "it's designed just fine," LOL

When I was a kid, our driveway was an unfinished street, that went through a vacant lot and a curb at the other end. One night my brother was getting out of the car and a car came down our driveway almost hitting my brother, and through the lot(probably got a surprise after jumping off of the curb). After that dad cut down a tree that was about 4 feet across at the base and put across the end of our driveway. Nobody went down our driveway again.
