ISSUE 99: IF YOU HATE UNMANNED RED LIGHT AND SPEED CAMERAS IN MAPLE HTS, VOTE "YES" FOR ISSUE 99

If you're confused by these postcards you've been getting, let's make it simple.  Issue 99 has to do with a charter amendment involving traffic cameras.


Do you absolutely hate these unmanned speed cameras in Maple Hts?  Did you or a friend or loved one get a speed camera ticket and you're mad as hell?  


Do you think that there will be more of these unmanned speed cameras or red light cameras coming to Maple Heights and you hate that idea?


Well, we guess you have only one choice.   Vote "YES" on Issue 99 (which again has to do with a charter amendment).

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]
