Traffic codes nix North Huntingdon’s 19 mph limit

North Huntingdon police Sgt. Duane Kucera concedes he took a “little egg on the face” when he erected 19 mph signs on two township streets a year ago and inadvertently violated state and federal regulations requiring speed limits in 5 mph increments. Even though the 20 mph signs are back up on Mockingbird Lane in front of Norwin Intermediate School and on Biddle Avenue In Westmoreland City, Kucera thinks motorists got the message to slow down. He’s had no speeding complaints in more than a year.

Clark, 47, was charged with felony vandalism and reckless endangerment for allegedly firing at least three rounds from a .30-06 hunting rifle at the camera, knocking it out of action.

Traffic light snafu called ‘freak’ event

In his 18 years in Stamford, he said he had never seen anything like it.
