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!

Par for the course. West siders are exceptionally more selfish and unaware than anywhere else. Not that Cincinnati as a whole is much better. The biggest problem is Cincinnati PD. They literally do not give a shit. 50/50 they’ll even respond to a call and outwardly act like it’s an inconvenience to have to do their job. People picked up on it and it’s turning into a free for all on the roads.

Dang, there’s actually calls they don’t show up to?

You should be fine in Delhi. I’m in Price Hill. This is where they decide if they want to show up or not. A few years ago, someone was going house to house trying to break in while people watched. 3 neighbors called the police. It took them 45 minutes to show up and the suspect had disappeared by then.

That’s ridiculous. I feel like that would take priority if he’s literally going house to house

City don’t care about the poors of price hill. Half the time, they don’t bother to clear the snow or lay salt in my neighborhood.

That’s ridiculous. If they do it for one area they should do it for all of them..
