Per many First District residents concerns about speeding on Patterson Avenue, our office asked the Traffic Engineering division of Public Works to perform a speed survey. For a street or road to become eligible for enhanced fines for speeding, certain criteria must be met. The 85th percentile of speed must be 10 mph or greater than the posted speed limit. The posted speed limit on the section of Patterson Avenue is 35 mph, from the I-95 to Three Chopt Road corridor. The survey concluded that Patterson Avenue, from I-95 to Three Chopt Road does NOT qualify for the enhanced fines for speeding.
Please Note: Cary Street Road from Cameron to Three Chopt Road just recently qualified for this enhanced fine. Signs are posted along Cary Street Road with the $200 enhanced fines for speeding. The speed limit on this portion of Cary is 30 mph.
