New speed limit
at Long Lane accident scene
Last Wednesday a new
speed limit was posted at
the crest of the hill, on
Long Lane, where a boy
was killed by a truck
several weeks ago. The
limit was changed from SS
m.p.h. to 40 m.p.h.
As reported in last
week’s Times, the stopping
distance over the hill ex-
ceeded the visibilty by
several hundred feet under
‘he old speed limit.
Any person knowing of a
similar dangerous traffic
situation in our township is
invited to bring the matter
to the community’s atten-
tion by writing a letter to
the Times. All such letters
will be published.
