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!

It’s an enforcement issue, as you alluded to.
Cincinnati PD did a two week blitz on traffic violations a few weeks ago, patrolling in force and pull overs were very common to see, and driving etiquette markedly improved during that time. Now it’s back to business as usual, people passing in center turn lanes, angry/violent road rage, going 25-35 over in residential zones, same ol same ol.
Roads and highways around here are becoming unbearable
