Stretching the Zone
The speed cam van parked along Doncaster Road in Ellicott
City seemed out of place. These vans were sold to the council as a
deterrent to speeding in school zones yet there are no schools on Doncaster .
Where this van was sitting, there aren't even sidewalks, on either side of the
road.
There is a school within a half mile of where the vans location so I am assuming that this was the justification for the its placement.
Still, this seems to be stretching the intent of the enabling legislation. I wonder if there are any other locations in
HoCo where the speed cam vans are taking liberty with school zones.
