Description

One of the busiest school zone in Charlotte, with K-12 at 3 adjacent schools (Selwyn, AG Middle and Myers Park High).

While police started with a crack down for school opening, they are no longer present and speeders are outnumbering safe drivers. I know police can not be here 180 days a year, so CDOT should install those "YOUR SPEED" radar signs to slow down speeders. Other less busy school zones already have these. There is a 24/7/365 general speeding problem in addition to the school hours issue.

The morons with CMS and/or Charlotte DOT have installed 2 solar powered blinking school zone light signs. Had these dollars been applied to buy the radar "Your Speed" signs public dollars would have yielded at better result.

Originally posted in 2010, the problem is as bad or worse than ever. CMPD rarely patrols this area, and the solar powered blinking signs have had little impact. The radar/Your Speed signs seem the most effective option because they are on duty everyday. You would THINK the largest and busiest school speed zone in town would have them.

The Runnymed School zone is one of the longest school zones in Charlotte. It's eight tenths of a mile long. I agree that people should obey the 25 mile an hour school zone speed limit. But eight tenths of a mile is some distance to go 25 miles an hour on a roadway that's built for higher speeds. That's why it's so hard to get people to slow down through there.

Safety in Charlotte traffic? Not likely.
