SANDBRIDGE, Va. - When you turn onto Sandpiper Road, the main drag in the resort community of Sandbridge, the signs that pepper the yards are hard to miss.
"A group of residents banded together and put out a lot of, 'Drive Like your Kids Live Here' signs to help remind people to slow down," said resident Mathew Lemn.
Sandpiper Road is 3.5 miles long and ends near Back Bay National Wildlife Refuge.
"The road is classified by the City of Virginia Beach as a collector road because we have Little Island Park and the Refuge, and there is a lot of vehicles on the road, so the speed limit is 35," said Lemn, who is on the Sandbridge Civic League.
