Patrols to resume at troublesome crossing

This just in from the Manatee County Sheriff's Office:

"The Sheriff’s Office and Florida Highway Patrol will once again be enforcing speeding violations in a school zone at State Road 70 and River Club Boulevard.

"In September of 2008, a local judge ruled that the signage and markings of the River Club school zone did not meet FDOT standards.

"Improvements have been made to the school zone and it is now in compliance with FDOT standards. The speed limit for the River Club School zone is 20 mph."

This six-lane crossing has been particularly troubling, given the speed and volume of traffic. For more, see Tuesday's Herald.
