After seeing street racers speed by in front of his home on Saturday, Stockton resident Dan Richardson had enough. He's used a speed gun to clock drivers going over the speed limit on a regular basis.
For more than four years, neighbors have rallied together to try to curb the speeding that takes place daily through their neighborhood on Pershing Avenue.
"We jokingly call it the 'Pershing Expressway' because nobody treats it like a 30 mph zone," Richardson added.
"I've been hit," Richardson said. "My wife's been hit. And that right there (as car drives by), that's an example of what goes on, on a regular basis."
"He was just crossing at the light on Acacia Street, and a car went through the red and hit him," she said.
"There was a pickup truck and luckily I heard it and it was the tree that saved me," Zoran Jovanovic, Richardson's neighbor on Pershing Avenue, said.
"Narrowing of the street, whatever they have to do to stop this racing through here," Devincenzi said.
"I feel like this is collateral damage, Katya Evanhoe said. "It's outrageous that young kids cannot safely cross over. Baby strollers, elders my age, we don't cross over. Victory Park, Victory School is over here, the museum is over here, the swimming pool is over here."
The Stockton Police Department stated the importance of patrol in this area.
Officer Scott also noted that there were 14 traffic fatalities this year to date compared to 26 at this same time last year.
However, for Pershing Avenue neighbors, they are rallying together -- asking for even more help -- to curb the everyday speeding, the street racing, and the danger that hits too close to home for them.
