INDIANAPOLIS -- New warning signs demanded by homeowners living near a dangerous curve have done little to deter reckless drivers, they said.

Neighbors near the intersection of Hanna Avenue and Miller Road in Indianapolis said drivers are constantly taking a nearby 'S' curve too quickly and crashing into their yards and homes, 6News' Rafael Sanchez reported.

After residents voiced their concerns to Sanchez in October, Department of Public Works crews installed several new signs and reflectors along the curve to warn drivers.

But one of the warning signs has already been taken out in a crash, prompting neighbors to push the city to install rumble strips leading up to the curve.

DPW officials said they will install the noisemakers if all of the residents agree.

Jeffrey Waggoner, who's had several vehicles drive through his lawn and into his home in the past, said he's adding another line of defense: boulders.

"I think I'll be putting bigger stones up," he said. "They can hit the house, we've got insurance, but it is going to kill them."

If the petition for the rumble strips passes, the city said they won't likely be installed until winter is over.

DPW officials said 'S' curves are no longer used in the city because they are poorly designed.
