Teens and adults have been doing it for generations. But now the city of Mishawaka wants to put an end to cruising. The kids come down in their cars and on their motorbikes just wanting to cruise the strip and hang out. But according to a city attorney, congestion on the roads isn't the only concern out there. Crime statistics for the strip identify problems like minors drinking alcohol, DUI s, vandalism, and trespassing.
Traffic control points Many businesses in the area know all about the problems.
The city tried to cut down on cruising in the past using signs but they didn' t really work. Now the Traffic Commission is looking into the idea of setting up traffic control points. That means police will watch the traffic and any car that passes the control point five times in two hours will be ticketed. Ordinace may take a while It's just a proposal for now. The cruisers don't think will work.
