To The Daily Sun,

Where exactly are the signs on the Laconia bypass that say, "Minimum Speed 80?"

People on the bypass go way too fast but if you sat on court Street at 6:30 on any given day or 4 o’clock any given day there’s probably three cars out of 20 that are actually doing 30. The rest are doing at least 45, It’s not often you see cars being pulled over on Court Street and yet they fly down this road every day funny thing is we have officers getting gas at Murphy’s and no one hardly ever picks up the speeders

Very good question. I recently read an article that discussed this phenomenon. There are records indicating that during COVID, a lot of people started speeding like crazy. And it hasn't stopped. I don't remember where I found the article but it's not just Laconia. Everyone's angry and in a rush now
