(photo/Scott Nixon) Speeding through Huron County By Pauline Kerr SPECIAL TO THE T -A GODERICH — People driving through Huron County don't waste time on details like sticking to the speed limit, according to a traffic study done for the county's highways department last fall. The study was done for the purpose of classifying roads for maintenance purposes, according to a report by county engineer Don Pletch. County council voted to make the results available to the public. What the numbers indi- cate is whatever part of the county, the majority of drivers move at well in excess of the posted speed limit For example, readings taken on County Road 86, just east of the intersec- tion at County Road 4 (in a 50 km/h zone) near Wingham, half the traffic was moving at 73 km/h or faster, with five per cent of vehicles doing 143 km/h or faster. Similar results came from readings taken near Wingham on. County Road 86 east of Wescast in a 70 km/h zone, with half the traffic moving at 111 km/h or faster, and five per cent doing 156 km/h or more. In a 70 km/h zone on Road 4 south of Wingham (Hutton Heights), half the traffic was going 86 km/h or faster, with five per cent going 153 km/h or faster. On Road 83 at Airport Line in a 70 km/h zone, five per cent of traffic was doing over 112 km/h; in a 50 km/h zone on Road 84 at St. Joseph, half the traf- fic was doing over 81 krn/h and five per cent over 153 km/h; on Road 25 between Dunlop and Carlow in a 90 km/h zone, half the traffic was doing at least 114 km/h and five per cent 156 km/h and faster. Pletch said in his report to council that the high- ways department had sev- eral requests for posted speed limit reductions last year, but the study indi- cates the problem is not the posted limit but the actual speed.
