Morning Rush Hour On Olley Lane

Wednesday morning, March 31, 2010 observing rush hour traffic on Olley Lane we saw this woman texting on her cellphone while driving 52 mph in a 35 mph zone.
This driver must have been late for work, he was going 49 mph in a 35 mph zone.

It appears the posted 35 mph speed limit is just an average, this vehicle was going 47 mph.

This truck is dangerous at any speed, let alone 44 mph in a residential area.

This UPS truck has been seen driving too fast around the neighborhood. Caught on camera on Nester Road.

It's time to take back our streets!!
