The Village of Hiram is considering installing traffic cameras for speeding vehicles. The chief of the Hiram Police Department is looking to other communities that have these cameras to see how they are working.
“Basically, it’s a safety thing,” Mayor Lou Bertrand said. “We have some people coming through town driving way too fast. I was out walking recently on State Route 305 and State Route 82, and these vehicles are coming through town, and they’re going way over the 35-miles-per-hour speed limit (25 mph in the Hiram College vicinity). Some of these vehicles are tractor-trailer trucks that are 65,000 pounds. It’s worse now than it’s ever been.
