Poll: What Are The Biggest Hazards Posed By Cheyenne Drivers?

A proposed ordinance in the Cheyenne City Council would allow for a doubling of fines for speeding tickets in areas identified as having a problem with speeding.

Under the proposal, people could sign a petition asking the city to study their neighborhoods for traffic concerns. If at least five people in a neighborhood sign such a petition, the city will conduct a study to determine if there are safety concerns related to speeding. The complaint forms for people who want to raise the issue will be available to the public through the city engineer's office.

If the study determines that unsafe driving poses a problem, the neighborhood could be designated a Critical Traffic Control Area. People ticketed for speeding in such an area would face double the usual fine for speeding in the city, similar to a ticket for speeding in a construction zone. Other measures, like temporary calming devices, might also be taken.
