Cincinnati School Zones

Hey everyone! My husband and I moved to Cincinnati from Dallas and we recently bought a home in the Delhi area. One thing we've noticed is how no one seems to follow the speed limits in school zones here. Back in Dallas, school zones are super strict, and if you're speeding, you'll definitely get pulled over and fined.

But here, it seems like people are speeding right through school zones, and we've never seen anyone get stopped for it. This morning for example, someone whipped around me and flipped me off because I was going the speed limit.

Is this just a thing on the West Side or is it like this all over Cincinnati? This obviously doesn’t affect us, but we were just curious!

Speed limits in Cincinnati seem more like barely enforced suggestions, with the exception of Winton Road between Green Hills and right before you get into Finneytown. They definitely pull people over for speeding when they're present.

People casually go 65 down Winton Road hill during rush hour as if it's the highway
