KPD sees success with blitz on speeding
Star Courier
The city s crackdown on speeding has hit high gear and has been so successful that police officials are planning to purchase a second speed-notification sign for next year.
Kewanee Police have been utilizing the sign the city purchased this year to set up enforcement details at high-profile locations through Kewanee, as identified by citizen and city council recommendations. The sign collects traffic data that includes how many cars are speeding in a particular area. Our goal is to alter unsafe driving habits and encourage people to drive more safely in Kewanee, said Police Chief Nicholas Welgat. We ve taken a proactive approach.
