Suspected GFHS traffic

Status: Closed
Assigned To: jallen (Police)
Ticket ID: 4781c791

Date: Thursday - 10-26-17
Location: 2900 block of 5th avenue south

At 12:05 had a vehicle traveling eastbound on 5th avenue south at an extremely high rate of speed. Later at 12:11 same vehicle was seen traveling westbound still at high rate of speed. Timed second travel at an entire city block distance in 3 seconds.

I suspect that this is again our local GFHS noon-time kids in a hurry. Given a city block distance traveled in 3 seconds and an entire block being approximately 400 feet in length, we're looking at an approximate speed of 90 mph in a residential area.

Sorry, did not get a description on vehicle nor license number. But as you probably are aware, speed is a chronic issue with the high school population in the morning, at noon and afternoon hours.

Too bad that this city doesn't have portable traffic speed cameras.
