OC Officials Impose Event Zones and Fines for Car Events

H2Oi Facebook page

Ocean City officials have unveiled their safety plans to deal with upcoming car events – especially the unsanctioned H2O event.

WBOC reports that the event has been relocated to Atlantic City but Police Chief Ross Buzzuro still expects large crowds.

The plans include special event zones with lower speed limits along busy roadways and higher fines.

The plans unveiled at a meeting of a city taskforce also announced that resort will keep special zones for Cruisin’ OC.

Another meeting is scheduled after this year’s events to consider any other improvements.
