State Rt 129 as it becomes High Street traveling West

Hamilton, OhioFeb 18, 20114 Comments

The City always seem to enforce this almost unlawful school zone as you travel west on 129 as it becomes High Street. The roadway is seperated by a culvert and a fence but still Hamilton still calls it a School Zone. Coming down the hill from a 35mph zone, they will nail you at 3+miles over the posted limit.

Comments:
The state gave a waiver for a school zone there and it is against department policy to write at 3 mph. Min is 10 mph over.

When someone you know is hurt or killed by somebody don't say the police department isn't doing something about the speeding.

This is definetly a speed trap. Coming down 129 you go from 65 to 55 to 35 in a short distance-but you have plenty of warning to slow down. The "speed trap" comes in with the school zone. The problem with this school zone, as with every school zone in Ohio is you have no idea when the restricted hours are in effect-because they dont have to post them. The law is so vague and does not meet the requirements set for by MUTCD. It is hard to play by the rules, especially when those that enforce the rules, dont have to tell you the rules.

This is a very bad speed trap which is now enforced by the New Miami (Hamilton) mobile, automated speed camera hidden in an unmarked white Ford Escape. Because it is mobile and set up by the PD at will, there are no 'photo enforcement' warning signs to tell you it's there as you're coming down the hill. So, you come downhill west on four-lane, divided highway OH-129 at the posted speed limit of 65 mph, and within a few hundred feet, depending on the time of day, it becomes a school zone where the speed limit has dramatically dropped 45 mph all the way down to 20 mph (35 mph during non-school hours). A few weeks later, you get a letter in the mail, demanding your $95, half of which goes to the speed camera manufacturer.
