    Tuesday, Aug. 4, 9:30 a.m., AC MR 1/2        ANSWER:

6 | SUNRAYS AUGUST 2015                          The perception of speeding on local streets is probably the most
                                                 persistent problem facing residents and traffic officials. Residents
                                                 observe vehicles being driven at speeds they perceive are too fast
                                                 and call the police to complain. In the past, a traffic unit was
                                                 deployed to areas to investigate the complaints.

                                                 As a way to reduce utilizing manpower to confirm there is a
                                                 speeding problem, the GPD has introduced the use of speed dis-
                                                 plays as well as speed cameras that can be dispersed throughout
                                                 the city to track areas where complaints are received. Once the
                                                 information is obtained and a speeding problem is confirmed, a
                                                 strategy can be put in place to gain voluntary compliance with
                                                 traffic laws.

                                                 For additional traffic related questions, please contact Sgt. Wayne
                                                 Hilgenberg at 512-930-3515.
