Starting Nov. 17 motorists in Sharon could find themselves faced with hefty speeding fines if they don't slow down.

Police began using Acutrak, a speed timing device, in early September. White lines have been painted in 15 areas of the city to assist police in using the timing devices, said Sgt. Jerry Smith.

Capt. Michael Menster said the areas were chosen because there are a large number of complaints about speeders and accidents or because there is a safety concern for children.

Some of the marked streets are State Street, Forker Boulevard and Sharpsville and Stambaugh avenues.

So far police have been issuing warnings to speeders but will begin issuing citations soon.
