Green Valley Ranch resident praises school-zone photo enforcement as safety tool
Summary
A resident of Green Valley Ranch told the City Council he supports photo-enforcement in a 25 mph school zone, saying automated ticketing teaches drivers to slow down and protects children and pedestrians.
Roderick Marshall told the Feb. 2 public comment session that drivers routinely speed through the 25 mph school zone in Green Valley Ranch and said he supports photo enforcement as a safety measure.
Marshall described seeing drivers "zoom through" the zone and said the automated camera vehicle that takes pictures and mails tickets helps teach drivers to slow down. "I love it because it teaches people lessons, slow down in these school zones," he said, adding that slowing drivers reduces the risk of injuring a child.
Marshall urged continued enforcement and noted increased traffic in his district tied to new housing. His comments were delivered as public comment; no formal council action or staff response was recorded during the session.
