This North Carolina city will soon get money to crack down on speeders. I have been noticing more law enforcement pulling over speeders in Charlotte lately. I travel down South Tryon street in Charlotte and up until about two weeks ago, I never saw anyone pulled over. Just last week, three people ahead of me had been stopped. Now it looks like more resources are coming their way.
According to Channel 9, North Carolina will be providing the city with $50,000 on new radar guns and a simulator that demonstrates the importance of wearing seat belts.
Law enforcement will also be focusing on people who are running traffic lights and weaving through traffic. The focus right now is the speeding problem in Charlotte. Here is what WSOCTV is reporting on:“We absolutely feel it,” Mark Ezzell, the director of the North Carolina Governor’s Highway Safety Program told Ch. 9 in November. “And we absolutely see it. In fact when I speak with my colleagues nationally, in other states they’re seeing it.”
I know I am guilty, especially traveling early in the morning. But speeding can be deadly. Maybe we can all try to be better. To learn more about the money coming to crack down on speeders, get details right here.
The Experts Say These Are The 13 Best Things To Do In Charlotte North Carolina
Often times when you live somewhere it’s easy to get complacent and not take advantage of everything that location has to offer. And this list proves that for sure. I’ve lived in Charlotte for most of my life and still haven’t checked off everything on this list. And some of them I haven’t done since the school field trip days. This list, the 13 best things to do in Charlotte, was compiled by US News and World Report. It contains what their experts perceive as the best attractions in Charlotte. The heavy hitter tourist attractions of course made the list, though not all in the spots I would have guessed. Popular shopping areas Southpark Mall and Concord Mills mall were noticeably (at least to this shopping addict) missing.
And it also includes a few “under the radar” places that you may not have thought of as the best things to do in Charlotte. This includes a park, several museums, and even a food hall. So they next you find yourself bored and not sure what to do, give this list a look over and explore your city. You may just find your new favorite spot. Or be reminded of an old favorite you’d forgotten about. After all #CharlottesGotALot.
