Default Automobile Speed Limit

Who actually monitors the speed limit inside the Village gates?

Asking for a friend

30 merging to 20 really means....45 accelerating to beat what ever is in the way. Occasionally a empty patrol car is placed to slow down traffic, but rarely do you ever see tickets given

Hopefully cameras mounted to traffic lights will not find their way here

In the past (5-10 years Ago) there used to be regular speed monitoring and tickets given.

In more recent years as was said above....one might see an active traffic monitoring....very rare.

As a result the speed of traffic on main roads has increased substantially.......stop signs and speed limits seem to be non existent.

Obviously not a priority (anymore).

Apparently the county is flush with funds and does not need the police to fund themselves with ticket revenue

They need to monitor the people driving 30 in a 45 in the left lane. This defines most of the pearl clutchers who are whining about speeders.

The odds of getting struck by lightning are better than getting a speeding ticket
