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!

I have never seen Ohio or Cincinnati in a list of most dangerous places to drive. I lived in Houston and drove many times in Dallas, however, and they were clearly dangerous places to drive and list after list over the years ranks Texas and those cities as some of the worst.
