As six defendants appealing tickets for speeding on the U.S. 250 Bypass await their day in court, the Charlottesville City Council is considering an ordinance that reiterates the speed limits posted on that stretch of road.
The council requested an engineering study of the bypass be completed to determine whether the posted speed limits are appropriate.
The council’s decision was prompted by complaints from the defendants, all cited for driving 50 to 54 mph in a 35-mph zone in the 300 to 600 blocks of the bypass between October 2010 and April 2011, said City Councilor Kristin Szakos.
