WTH this is obviously an attempt to have a city wide SPEEDTRAP. 20 MPH.? ARE YOU KIDDING ME? you cant get around in this town as it is. How about enforcing the laws you already have before you change existing ones. for example the stay in right lane except to pass.Everytime I travel through Blue Ridge or to Ellijay I could write 50 tickets to idiots that absolutly REFUSE to get over and let you by. Then when you finally get by they want to mouth at you with a smug grin on their face . What is it that BlueRidge is trying to accomplish? They are Quickly trying to build and develop a BOOM town but are at the same time slowing your progress .you are still going to have just as many accidents because you cant eliminate STUPID from the strteets just as you cant eliminate stuoid from the city council.
