New Speed Limit on Lake Erie Islands
This is unbelievable. Space is really the last frontier. This affects the largest and most popular boating area on Lake Erie.
In today's Port Clinton News Herald
Bill sets maximum Lake Erie island speed limit at 35 mph
News Herald reports
Beginning in May, speed limits on Lake Erie islands will be limited for 35 miles per hour.
The Ohio House of Representatives gave final approval to Sen. Randy Gardner's bill Tuesday and the 35-mile per hour speed limit will be in place 90 days after Gov. Bob Taft signs the bill.
"This bill has always been about three things -- public safety, common sense and public support," Gardner said.
Gardner, the Senate Majority Floor Leader, received support for the bill from Ottawa County Engineer David Brunkhorst, Put-in-Bay Township Trustees, EMS personnel, the Ohio Township Association and others.

Un-enforceable. They dont have anything that can catch my cruiser much less you guys. And what denotes "Island" waters verses open water. Must be cars.

Re: New Speed Limit on Lake Erie Islands
I would think they woulda said around, or within so far of.... if they were talking about boats. Let alone saying boat in the story. I think it's a car thing. I've had a golf cart over 40 tho

I ported and bored the cyls, installed a 29mm flat slide carb and expansion chamber off an 80cc MX bike, oversized tires for gearing and clocked 38 on police radar still climbing

Remember, they have had a couple of vehicle related deaths in the last few years, And the only high speed boating one I can think of was Ollie and that was a while ago now.
