Speeders on Herndon Avenue continue to keep Fresno police traffic officers busy, prompting a warning Tuesday to motorists to slow down and obey the posted speed limits.
"It's scary out there," said Sgt. Eric Eide. Eide mentioned a motorist who was cited about 8 a.m. Tuesday allegedly driving 90 mph on Herndon near Blythe in northwest Fresno. "That's over 40 mph over the speed limit," said Eide.
The driver, Mohommad Husaini, 24, of Fresno, reportedly told officers he was in a hurry because he had to be in traffic court at 8:30 a.m. to appear on a prior recent citation for allegedly going 80 mph, said Eide. Not only are speeders breaking the law, but they are putting the public in danger, said Eide.
The so-called Herndon Corridor, however, is not the only problem area in the city, Eide said. A few weeks ago during heavy fog, a motorist was cited for allegedly going 85 mph on East Shaw Avenue near California State University, Fresno, he said.
