The decrease pertains only to I-271 in Mayfield Village, as ODOT has a traffic monitor on I-271, near Highland Road, at about the center point of the village’s stretch of freeway.
Jan. 12, 2023, 12:44 p.m.Mayfield police have announced that there was a 22 percent decrease in speeding on Interstate 271 in the village in 2022, the first year photo enforcement was used on the highway. MAYFIELD, Ohio -- Ohio Department of Transportation results for the first full-year of photo enforcement on the Mayfield stretch of Interstate 271 shows that those driving 85 mph or faster decreased by 22 percent when compared to 2021.
Before the photo enforcement program was instituted, Police Chief Paul Matias noted that ODOT statistics, from 2018 through 2021, showed a dramatic increase in vehicles traveling at speeds above 85 mph, particularly during morning and evening rush hours.
Using only traditional speeding enforcement measures in 2021, and not a camera, MVPD officers issued citations to drivers of 173 cars that traveled above 90 mph and to 27 above 100 mph. In 2022, MVPD officers issued 533 citations on I-271 for speeding, including 162 citations for vehicles traveling above 90 mph and 35 citations for vehicles traveling more than 100 mph.
As for fines derived from photo enforcement, village Finance Director Ronald Wynne said, “For 2022, photo enforcement fines collected were $1,099,301, and fees paid for professional services were $425,602, for a net of $673,699.”

Another Year of Record Heat for the Oceans - Advances in Atmospheric SciencesChanges in ocean heat content (OHC), salinity, and stratification provide critical indicators for changes in Earth’s energy and water cycles. These cycles have been profoundly altered due to the emission of greenhouse gasses and other anthropogenic substances by human activities, driving pervasive changes in Earth’s climate system. In 2022, the world’s oceans, as given by OHC, were again the hottest in the historical record and exceeded the previous 2021 record maximum. According to IAP/CAS data, the 0–2000 m OHC in 2022 exceeded that of 2021 by 10.9 ± 8.3 ZJ (1 Zetta Joules=1021 Joules); and according to NCEI/NOAA data, by 9.1 ± 8.7 ZJ. Among seven regions, four basins (the North Pacific, North Atlantic, the Mediterranean Sea, and southern oceans) recorded their highest OHC since the 1950s. The salinity-contrast index, a quantification of the “salty gets saltier—fresh gets fresher” pattern, also reached its highest level on record in 2022, implying continued amplification of the global hydrological cycle. Regional OHC and salinity changes in 2022 were dominated by a strong La Niña event. Global upper-ocean stratification continued its increasing trend and was among the top seven in 2022.
