New Vienna, Ohio Speed Traps
State Highway SR 73 near State Route SR 28
From about 1/2 mile out of New Vienna on route 73 either way, the speed limit is 35 mph. You would think it is 50-55 mph, in this rural setting. Slow down and be careful. The local force likes to hide in the toy factory alley. They have been known to shoot first and ask questions later literally.
St Rt 73 (north edge of town)
On Rt 73, 1/2 mile from the center of New Vienna entering town from the north there is a Corporate Limit sign. This area is very rural but is an unmarked 35 mph area. In fact you will go 3/10 of a mile before seeing a 35 mph speed limit sign. Going from 55 mph to a 35 mph UNMARKED rural zone in a town where all other entries are very well marked right at their change of speed limit. Long term residents of New Vienna don’t know of the speed there. Many will find exiting town going north on 73 in that same area very rural and again not posted getting a surprise ticket.
St Rt 73 (north edge of town)
You will love this one!! St Rt 73 on the north side of New Vienna has (I still can’t believe this) a 55 mph speed into town (inside the corp limit mind you) and a 35 mph limit going out of town. Honestly I swear. For 0.3-0.4 miles of nothing but country. The city inforces a 35 mph going out of town and allows a 55 into town. I went to court to find 4 other people there with tickets. All had exact tickets to mine. I was ruled guilty. The 35 out of town is extremely unreasonable (even ODOT won’t allow it coming in). AMAZING.
