Plan may benefit city’s speeders
Tuesday June 20, 2000
I read with interest your story about the move to raise the speed limit on Claremont Avenue.
Several good points were made. Particularly by Dave Campbell.
One not made though is that if the speed limit were increased now and the state bill AB 1885 were to pass what would be the effective outcome? It would be to protect people driving 40 MPH from speeding tickets.
The timing is interesting. Could Armstrong’s initiative be a preemptive strike for the benefit of speeders?
