Check out the ward map and you will see what I mean, you will see pockets of Franklin off of Manchester.

I think when a when a state hwy such as that goes through a city area where people reside. That the city has a right to set safe speed limits to protect the people of that city. I do think that is allowed. ]]> Mon, 24 Aug 2009 10:15:48 +0000 http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1806&PID=10209&title=on-a-lighter-note#10209 On A Lighter Note : Pac- Sign on Manchester heading... http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1806&PID=10208&title=on-a-lighter-note#10208 Author: VietVet

Pac- Sign on Manchester heading west indicates Middletown's city limits ends at the western end of that newer Cristo subdivision on Manchester. The cruiser was parked a quarter of a mile up the road(east) from that point. If looking for speeders on Manchester, the cop would have to catch them coming OUT of Middletown and pulled them over outside their jurisdiction. Just curious. Have seen plenty of Franklin cops sitting and cruising Rt.25 between Middletown and Franklin as it is a 35 MPH speedtrap along there. The Franklin cops like to sit at that church on the right as you head toward Franklin or back in where that water derrick sits.

By the way- talking about Rt. 25- that's a state highway. Does Franklin have the right to determine state highway speed limits even though the highway is within Franklin's city limits? Does their 35 MPH speed limit override the state's normal 50 MPH limit? Just wondering how a city level law can override a state law? Any legal eagles out there?

The screwed up boundries- probably blame it on annexations over the years caused by Middletown's land grabs.]]> Mon, 24 Aug 2009 10:12:23 +0000 http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1806&PID=10208&title=on-a-lighter-note#10208 On A Lighter Note : Oops!

Vet parts of that area are in Middletown.  You all have a really screwed up boundary system between Middletown and Franklin for the life of me I can't figure out how you can draw boundaries the way you all have.  You have small patches of Franklin completely surrounded by Middletown.  What did you all toss darts at a board and claim them for Franklin or Middletown? ]]> Mon, 24 Aug 2009 09:41:39 +0000 http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1806&PID=10205&title=on-a-lighter-note#10205 On A Lighter Note : Noticed on Saturday morning while... http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1806&PID=10204&title=on-a-lighter-note#10204 Author: VietVet

Noticed on Saturday morning while heading to Rt. 25 on Manchester by Speedway, there was a Middletown cop sitting in the open field/ turn-in by Sawyer Mills facing west toward Middletown. Just sitting- not doing anything in particular. Out of the city limits.

This morning, about 5:20AM, on my way to work at WPAFB, I saw another Middletown cruiser coming out of a driveway on Rt. 25 as I was heading to Franklin to catch 123 out to I-75 north. Out of the city limits.Followed the cruiser to Rt.73/Rt.25 intersection in Franklin and as I turned right to go to Rt.123, the cruiser turned left to go Rt.73 back toward Middletown.

Just out of curiosity, probably no big deal, but--- wonder what gives here?
