LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Landon Wilburn, 11, has a future as a cop. The youngster, who used to shout at speeders to slow down as they drove through his subdivision, now has taken matters into his own hands. Dressed in a reflective vest, wearing a bicycle helmet and armed with an orange Hot Wheels radar gun, he points and records the actual speed of passing traffic. Landon also carries a flashlight with a built-in siren.

Many residents are frustrated that motorists tear through the neighborhood at 55 mph despite signs posting a 25 mph limit. Officials said the city will install speed humps in the neighborhood if 70 percent of residents agree and are willing to put up half the money.
