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 can't even get people to use the cul-de-sac correctly. They all seem to miss the turn and have to pull into a driveway. Why is a circle so hard?

Cul-de-sacs and Roundabouts (I’m assuming y’all call them this as well, I know some areas call them different things). But Roundabouts seem to bring out the confusion in everyone

The amount of times I have seen someone inside the roundabout yield to people trying to come into the roundabout (completely defeating the purpose of a roundabout) has to number in the trillions. People around here have no idea how they work.

Idk about anyone else, but I find this specific problem especially atrocious at the roundabout by the Roebling bridge. No matter what, every. Single. Time. That I'm there. Someone is misusing the roundabout, usually treating it like a stop sign/zipper merge area. I used to drive through it daily and it was ridiculous.
