 Alexis Road School Zone

The restricted times for drivers to abide by the 20 mph limit are from 7:00-8:45 AM and 1:45-3:30 PM. Reduced speed and safer driving is appreciated, but Whitmer/Washington Local has nothing to do with signage, placement, or fines. Questions pertaining to the cameras should be directed to the Toledo Police Department at 419-245-3143.
