Greenville residents welcomed the recent opening of the new 10th Street Connector with much fanfare, but now a new speed limit change is creating controversy.

The Greenville Police Department posted a video on its Facebook page showing an officer clocking a speeding driver with his radar gun Tuesday.

No tickets were issued, but police are hoping to bring awareness of the speed limit decrease from 45 miles an hour down to 35 miles an hour. Then, farther down the road, the speed increases back to 45 mph.

"It's going to be safer for all drivers; new drivers, current drivers that's been driving there. I think it's great," said resident Tracey Lantz.

In response, hundreds of residents commented on the speed limit change. While some say the limit could make the roadways safer for pedestrians and decrease accidents, there are others who feel as if the speed limit changing so quickly will cause confusion.

Greenville resident Allie Kohler said, "The signage is not very clear and I prefer more signage. I'm o.k. With the slower speed limit."

Greenville Police say they have not issued any tickets to drivers in the area at this time, but officers are warning residents to be aware of the speed changes in the area.
