If you travel on Highway 27 towards Rome during school hours, you may want to make sure that you obey the speed limit in the school zone near Armuchee Elementary School.  The Floyd County Board of Education met on Monday and is looking to install speed cameras in the area on Martha Berry Highway (US Highway 27) near the school.

Floyd County school officials say that Rome City Schools have had “a lot of success” since they installed camera’s near Rome Elementary School.

Floyd County Police say that Martha Berry Highway in the Armuchee area is the second most likely place to have an accident in Floyd County.  Police were on hand to give the board of education members information about speeding near the elementary school and high school, both of which are located on Martha Berry Highway.

Board members said that they were more inclined to install the cameras near the elementary school since there is already a stoplight at the entrance to the high school on Highway 27.

The speed limit in the school zone is 45 mph during school hours, and for an hour before and after. However, multiple speeding surveys were conducted in that zone and found many drivers are going much faster, according to Floyd County officials.
