July 13, 2000 KM police aim to slow The Kings Mountain Herald traffic coming into city If you're driving into Kings Mountain on Business 74 East, you probably should obey the speed limit. If not, you're likely to get a ticket. Kings Mountain Police Department this week is moni- toring the speed at the entrance to the city limits near Canterbury Road, and begin- ning next week will begin run- ning radar in the area. According to Assistant Chief of Police Melvin Proctor, the city has received numerous complants of speeders coming into the city limits, and with the Kings Mountain Senior Center * planning to build its new center at the entrance to the city it will become even more important that motorists obey the speed laws. “People are coming into town from I-85 and the speed drops rather quickly from 55 to 35 as they come off the ramp,” Proctor said. “By the time the Senior Center is built there it’s going to create a traffic hazard if people continue to come across the bridge running 55 miles per hour.” Proctor said the speed moni- tor was put out two days last week, and will be put out again KM P OLICE REPORT : on - on gambling charge ARRESTS Di-Van Moss, 25, Greensboro, embezzlement, no bond.
