If I'm correct in assuming, this area of Valpico is only a rocks throw from Tracy city limits. If Valpico has been surveyed for radar, maybe TPD can to the politically correct thing and enforce the speed limit. Just because it's "out of their jurisdiction" doesn't mean they can't issue citations on that stretch of road. Officers are sworn to uphold the laws of the State of California, not the city they work in.

I think it is about 9%. The rest goes to the county for the court house and employees. I am curious how many SO officers we have for the area. Does anyone know? - seehowitis Mon, 28 Jul 2008 05:06:36 +0100 http://tracypress.com/content/view/15348/2244/#comment-55659 I could be wrong but if Valpico is a county road then it might fall under county jurisction and then the proceeds from any citations would go to the county and not the City of Tracy. Which might well explain the late night "speed racers" up and down Valpico and lack of speed enforcement. Thank God Valpico isn't a route to the future sports park. - UCoty Sun, 27 Jul 2008 20:21:38 +0100 http://tracypress.com/content/view/15348/2244/#comment-55431 "written by hahaYouPeople , July 26, 2008 Maybe your friend shoulda yielded better when pulling onto the road." The vehicle the writer is talking about was actually slowing down to make a turn into her driveway. She was rearended by another vehicle whose driver was obviously speeding, following too closely, or just being inattentive. Just glad nobody was seriously hurt. - fortheunderdog Sat, 26 Jul 2008 13:51:41 +0100 http://tracypress.com/content/view/15348/2244/#comment-55357 How about the people who LIVE ON the road that is beeing used with 'over the top' speed from careless drivers. Yes, take Kavanagh Avenue. The people I see living there are limited to enjoying the neighborhood they live in just because speeders like me and you blast through driving above the posted 25 mile a hour limit. I had several drivers pass me on the way to the mall. I got to the mall only two or three minutes after them. They must have been goint 50 miles an hour ! Lincoln, Corral Hollow and Tracy Blvd's are other place no police are hardly seen. - Odell Sat, 26 Jul 2008 09:26:16 +0100 http://tracypress.com/content/view/15348/2244/#comment-55314 Careful what you wish for.... It's a known fact that the people that complain are the ones most likley to end up with a ticket at that very moment you may be in a hurry. I have seen it happen before.I agree that people should slow down but people will be people and who's going to pay the tax to hire extra officers to patrol Valpico or any other street.Everyone need to be more defensive in there driving habits and keep an eye on those who could care less because at the end of the day you are responsible for yourself and your family. - kchapman Sat, 26 Jul 2008 05:49:05 +0100 http://tracypress.com/content/view/15348/2244/#comment-55301 Maybe your friend shoulda yielded better when pulling onto the road. - hahaYouPeople Sat, 26 Jul 2008 02:27:27 +0100 http://tracypress.com/content/view/15348/2244/#comment-55293 Please patrol WEST KAVANAGH from Tracy Blvd all the way to Corrall Hollow Rd.
