100 years ago…

August 8, 1906 – The Tampa City Council discussed a new “Auto Speed Ordinance,” that would reduce the speed limit on Franklin Street and Seventh Avenue from twelve miles per hour to eight miles per hour. The new speed limit on Florida Avenue, Lafayette (Kennedy) and Tampa Street would be ten miles an hour, and all other streets would have a twelve mile per hour limit.

    100 years and they still barely enforce speed limits. Go figure.
