Speed Limit Is 10 Miles per Hour in School Zone, 1919

“Speeding by School,” from the front page of the Rockingham Post-Dispatch, Sept. 4, 1919
The city last week placed large display signs at each corner of the graded school block, warning autoists not to go faster than ten miles per hour on that block. This is done simply as an extra precaution for the school children. The speed law of 10 miles by the school is to be strictly enforced, and the offenders will have no one but themselves to blame when they are jacked up before the Mayor. Don’t swell up and growl when the police pull you, and don’t get childishly peeved with the Post-Dispatch for publishing your name in the Mayor’s docket.
