Base residents encouraged to slow down Published Sept. 24, 2010 81st Security Forces Squadron KEESLER AIR FORCE BASE, Miss. -- Keesler has experienced speeding incidents in family housing areas. Most incidents involve military members and dependants during the evening hours and on weekends. The 81st Security Forces Squadron strictly enforces speed limits on base and reminds personnel driving on Keesler to follow the posted signs. Keesler's speed limit is 25 mph unless otherwise posted, but the limit drops to 15 mph in family housing areas. In parking lots, the speed limit is 5 mph. A speeding citation for exceeding 10 mph over the posted limit in the family housing areas carries driving suspension -- 30 days for a first offense, 90 days for a second offense and one year for the third and subsequent offenses. A speeding citation for 1 to 10 mph over the speed limit earns drivers three points against their military driving record. For 11-15 mph over the limit, it's 4 points. If a driver receives 12 points within 12 months or 18 points within 24 months, driving privileges are suspended for one year. For more information, call Staff Sgt. Sheralyn Gonzalez, 376-6604.
