Show No need for speed By JANIS CARTER Clipper Correspondent FRUIT HEIGHTS Because of the many recent accidents on Highway 89, Fruit Heights Mayor Blaine Nelson has asked the Davis County Sheriff's Department to consider tightening the grace mileage allowed over the 55 mph speed on the corridor stretch. Mayor Meison said he has talked to the officers at the Utah Department Depart-ment of Transportation about lowering lower-ing the speed to 45 mph, but UDOT says the people set the speed limit, meaning no matter what the legal limit is, they will still travel above it. Agreeing that something should be done, Capt. Hart of the Sheriffs Department said his department would clamp down on speeders on the highway. |
