WITI-TV, RACINE —
A Racine County road in the Town of Raymond boasted a speed limit of
five miles an hour. This, because it's just too rough to drive at
normal speed, 45 miles an hour.

It's a stretch of Waukesha Road between Highway G and 5 Mile Rd. that
has drivers a bit annoyed and frustrated.

"My car won't go five miles an hour! I can't run it that slow," said
neighbor Tom Lesch.

Lesch has lived along the road for more than a decade. He says it's
been a rougher ride home in recent weeks."I've never seen a road, that
cars travel on, that's a regular road, that is five miles and hour.
That's ridiculous," said Lesch.

Town of Raymond chairman Gary Kastenson says the town has already
scheduled a major repair project for this summer. The new road should
be completed by the end of the construction season.

Late Tuesday afternoon, the tape on the regular speed limit sign was
gone. The old 45 mile an hour speed limit is posted once again.
