WELDON POLICE
CLAMP DOWN ON
TRAFFIC LAWS
Cops Stop Motorists Tuesday
As Drive Is Launched To
Enforce Speed Limit
That outsiders, as well as Wel
don motorists must be impressed
that the traffic laws are to be obey
ed, was demonstrated here Tues
day, when many motorists were
stopped by Weldon policemen. It
seems that members of the Wel
don police department have been
instructed to clamp down on traf
fic law violators, and scores of
cars have been stopped within the
last few days and given a first
“friendly” warning. If this warn
ing is not heeded, obviously more
drastic steps will have to be taken.
Although the city traffic laws
have not been rigidly enforced in
the past, particularly with regard
to exceeding the speed limit, an
increased impetus will be put on
their enforcement in the future,
the policemen say.
The city speed limit law is for
the protection of both the pedes
trian and the motorist, and it is
for that reason that motorists
should pay particular attention to
it.
