Terrace Park has been identified in the past by the AAA (American Automobile Association) for issuing an excessive amount of tickets.

Signs once posted by AAA outside of the Village limits have been removed, possibly because Village is in compliance with traffic ticket rates compared to other surrounding communities.

The State of Ohio raised the speed limit on US-50 (Wooster Pike) from 25 mph to 35mph on the 4-lane traffic road with a 30,000 car daily traffic count. Terrace Park Village officials have asked the Ohio Department of Transporation to reduce the number of lanes from 4 to 2 and to reduce the posted speed limit back to 25mph.

The US-50 road is constantly patrolled bt Terrace Park Police who often hide on side roads or along side median berms to run radar.

Village of Terrace Park police at one time used to get a percentage of each ticket written, but this policy was abolished and the Police Chief replaced. No current figures are available to me for what percentage or amount of the police department is obtained through writing tickets.
