Fairfield speed limit debate in town center
A Fairfield Fairfield Center speed limit of 20 mph is urged by the Sherman School Teachers Association but lacks local authority as state law governs speeds by conditions. Town officials could enforce 20 mph via the town court, warnings should be posted, and advocates regret removing speed limits from state law, fearing more accidents. Fairfield Center, with two schools and a post office, is described as a speedway while Bridgeport is faster. The piece argues for a tested, safer approach to highway conditions in Connecticut.
