He said it confuses people in the community and the officers. He added that the 30 mph for unmarked residential areas doesn’t suit every situation. “You have to look at what’s happening in your community to see if that’s a safe speed,” Hall said. He said people would be upset if they wrote tickets for three or four miles an hour, people would be upset. “That 30-mile-an-hour zone effectively becomes a 38 to 40-mile-per-hour zone before officers are writing tickets,” Hall said. “That’s way too fast.” Last year, Wamego passed an ordinance to drop all of its unmarked city streets to 20 miles per hour. Hall said he thinks 20-25 mph in Sedgwick’s neighborhoods is reasonable because they weren’t going to stop people for three to four miles over.
