Base Speed Limit Reminder

Most of us are not aware of the speed limit before entering and exiting the main gate. A member received a citation entering the main clocked by radar going 32 MPH in a 15 MPH speed zone. Now we know that the jurisdiction and boundary for Hickam starts at curve as you come off of H1 and proceed under the pedestrian overpass. There is a posted speed limit of 15 MPH for that approach to the main gate. Likewise, while exiting the main gate the posted speed limit is 30 MPH until you are past the pedestrian overpass. Cell phone use while driving a vehicle is also
prohibited while operating a moving vehicle on the base. Please be observant of traffic regulations at Hickam.
