The Zone is the whole town, but the one spot that confuses me is the 25 Mile an Hour School Zone on State Highway 22. The only problem is that the school isn't on SH-22 it is 3/4 of a Mile off of it. The State Highway is a 4 Lane Non Divided with a Turn Lane in the Middle... Really, What Parent is going to send thier kid off to school and have them cross that road to get to school in Fort Smiths Rush Hour. Other Spots SH-22 By Fort Chaffee Military Base...Not Even Supposed to Be inside city.. it was annexed to work traffic on SH-22 and SH-59 by the Arkansas River Bridge..Also watch out for Unmarked Cars in Barling they have One Intrepid and One Impala the other cars are very well marked

Comment (4/2005): The 25 MPH school zone on State Highway 22 that you are referring to is an area that children do cross the four lane highway on a crosswalk in the area. Police Officers there walk the children across the highway there every morning and every afternoon. The Barling Police Department takes child safety very seriously and has a zero tolerance for people who disregard crosswalk laws.The other areas of Barling you speak of are inside the city limits and is posted clearly with the speed limit signs. obey the laws set forth to you and you shouldn't have to worry what the cars look like.

Comment (11/2005): I disagree with the Comment, the Barling Police are doing a great job of Keeping Speeders out of School zones, they also are seen late at night keeping drunk drivers off the roadway.
