Speeding is commonly identified as vehicles traveling above the posted speed limit; however, the broader concern is unsafe driving behavior. This includes operating a vehicle too fast for roadway, traffic, or environmental conditions, even if the posted speed limit is not exceeded. As a result, the City’s focus is not only on posted speeds, but on overall safety and driver behavior.
The Speed Deterrence Guidelines document the process and procedures for addressing speeding concerns within the City of Mequon. These guidelines only apply to neighborhood streets under direct control of the City. The goal of these guidelines is to display a transparent process for speeding concerns and improve safety in the community.
