NEENAH, WI (WTAQ)- An interesting way to crack down on Speeding.
Neenah Police officers are using a major scare tactic to tell speeders to slow down.
“Look up, have a laugh, watch your speed, or we are calling your mom.”
That is exactly what signs in the area of Castle Oak Drive and Marathon Avenue say.
“Slow down, or we’ll call your mother. Sincerely, Neenah Police.”
Community Liaison Officer Stuart Zuehls says the effort is a humorous way to get driver’s attention.
He says the hopes are that drivers see the sign, get a laugh, and then heed the warning.
“This is something that we decided to do in a fun way, and hopefully it attracts attention.”
Within hours, the department’s social media post was shared over 200 times. Zuehls says the area is not a safe one to speed through.
“We have had so many different complaints becuase this goes through Highway A and goes through the industrial park.”
Zuehls says so far it has been more effective than patrolling and electronic radar signs.
