CPD targets school zone speeding

Coeur d’Alene police Officer Nick Knoll parked across the street from Lakes Middle School and lowered the front windows of his patrol car, looking for lead-footed drivers. Knoll pointed a laser detector at passing cars to get an instant read on their speeds. It didn’t take long. “Here we go, there’s a 35” – a driver going 15 miles over the school zone speed limit as students are arriving at the school. Knoll pulled over a woman with a kid in her car, chatted with her briefly and returned to scan her driver’s license into his computer and print out a $156.50 speeding ticket. “She thought the speed limit was a 25 mph school zone,” Knoll said. “And she’s running late today”/ Scott Maben , SR.
