Description

The stretch of CT-191 near Faith Baptist Church under the purview of Enfield police, in the vicinity of Town Farm Road and Fletcher Road, has an enforced, but not posted, speed limit lower than the 45mph signage present both northbound and southbound. If the church requires a lower speed limit around it, it should be posted. That said, it is a fairly rural state road with consistent 45mph speed limits across it's length with clearer sightlines there than most other sections - there's not much reason to lower it given only the road and relatively sparse traffic.

I'm requesting the town enforce posted speed limits and make speed limits explicit to motorists. Failure to do so exposes the town to risks of lawsuits and danger to officers by irate drivers who feel they did nothing wrong. It also adds burden to courts for contested tickets and opens liability to officers for frivolous harassment cases. To put it simply, posting a few signs or enforcing the existing 45mph limits only would be advantageous to the town.
