BEWARE: PHOTO ENFORCEMENT CAMERAS ARE IN MAPLE HEIGHTS

Maybe our eyes are playing tricks on us, but did Maple Heights change their big photo radar (or was it photo enforced ?) signs to smaller photo enforced white signs (?).  Photo enforced could mean anything from photo radar to red light cameras to speed cameras -whatever (fixed and portable).
 
 
So go the speed limit, which for all of Warrensville Center Rd in Maple is 25 mph; and for most (if not all) of Broadway in Maple is 25 mph.
 
 
Remember, .. every council person voted for the use of the speed cameras; and according to channel 19, the traffic cam issue was sponsored by the mayor.   

If you disagree with the photo-monitoring cameras, tell the mayor and your council person how you feel about these  photo enforced cameras.


[LATEST NEWS, August 4, 2014 ... IN ADDITION TO SPEED CAMERAS ON WARRENSVILLE CENTER RD AND BROADWAY, TRAFFIC COPS HAVE ALSO BEEN SPOTTED ON WARRENSVILLE CENTER RD AND NORTHFIELD RD. ... THE AREAS THAT ARE TARGETED ARE EAST SIDE AND 25 MPH ZONES,... SO JUST DO 25 MPH UNLESS YOU WANT TO GIVE UP YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY ON A $100 PHOTO RELATED FINE, OR EVEN MORE IF A TRAFFIC COP PULLS YOU OVER FOR SPEEDING]

Hearsay has it that the law director stated he would not accept the signatures when he was approached/called by the attorney handling the signatures.

Little old ladies who say they never speed (an creep along) have received these speed tickets. A lot of them are on fixed income.
