Police have amped up speed enforcement on Hicks Street in Cobble Hill following complaints from residents about chronic speeding and too many accidents. As of May 16, officers put a new radar gun in service, handing out eight tickets in one day, according to DNAinfo.com.
A police source comments that many folks use Hicks Street “as a service road when the BQE gets backed up.” The Department of Transportation also installed a “Speed Limit: 30 mph” sign, with accompanying radar to deter speeders. Police officers will sporadically visit the area to enforce speeding on that street, DNA says.
