SJC1000rr Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 (edited) Just thought I would drop a line as the season is getting started. Anyone going down 33, The State Highway Patrol has a new set of speed lines on 33 between Pickerington Rd and Carrol. They are using an airplane and are out there hard between 2pm-4pm, but one should take caution all the time. Lets just say that I hadn't "noticed" this till yesterday....so anyone going to Hocking Hills or down south the quick way should slow down.Heres a self made map of where they are roughly.

smashweights Posted March 12, 2009 Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 i could never understand the economic sense of using airplanes to catch people speeding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harb67 Posted March 12, 2009 Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 (edited) Dear Lancaster,GO FUCK YOURSELF WITH A RED-HOT IRON ROD.Signed,People with things to do and places to be and no time for your bullshit.I'm still bitter about the BS ticket I got last year from them. Argh. Is it illegal to flip off these planes? I'd gladly give them the double-deuce while doing a cool 64 MPH. +rep for you for the post btw, I wouldn't have noticed them myself.Also, that guy, where are they on 71? N or S of Columbus?*edit*Oops, jumped the gun a bit, I misjudged just how close those lines are to Lancaster...guess it wasn't necessarily their fault. Still, f that city.

that dude Posted March 12, 2009 Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 harb..they are from the 271 71 north merge(medina) all the southbound on 71 south until about a few miles south of 224/76 exit(near lodi)..on 224 they are from rt3. until rt 42 exit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbluebird Posted March 12, 2009 Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 a small plane costs about 100 an hour to operate so all it needs to is catch 100+ dollars an hour in tickets plus as long as there is a plane some one will want to fly it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
that dude Posted March 12, 2009 Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 plus they get way way way more speeders than a ground patrolman..90% of people dont think to look up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How long have they been there? I take 271 to 71 to Columbus to get to OSU; I do that drive dozens of times a year and I never noticed them. Not like they even need them though; Lodi is nothing but a hive of donut-munching "Yanno how fast you were going? Well I do, cuz I'm a prick" cops.Never thought I'd do this, but you get positive rep for the heads-up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

max power Posted March 12, 2009 Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 Good looking out man. I live near there and can tell you, watch your speed on 33 anywhere in fairfreld county. The Lancaster branch has to be the busiest and best funded OHP in the state. They make ALOT o' money. 70-72 on the bypass and no more than 65 in the 60 is about all you will get away with and, unfortunately, if you dont see a OHP on 33 as you pass thru Fairfield County, it is the exception, not the norm.BTW, dont expect one to stop to help you if you are broke down, they are too busy making $ for that.

jagr Posted March 12, 2009 Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 So 33 is still 55 mph huh?I'll have to remember that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gergzla Posted March 12, 2009 Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 Am I retarded? what are these speed lines you talk of, I need insight.Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harb67 Posted March 12, 2009 Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 Am I retarded? what are these speed lines you talk of, I need insight.ThanksLines painted on the side of the road that an airplane or helicopter can use to calculate your speed using the basic rate = distance x time equation. If you've ever seen Mythbusters, it's basically the same idea as the striped boards they use when filming slow-mo footage to determine the speeds of stuff.So in short; they're another way to twist your arm for money.

max power Posted March 12, 2009 Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 So 33 is still 55 mph huh?I'll have to remember that.The only part that is still 55 is the old parts that run from the bypass into Lancaster (business route) From Columbus to the bypass, its 60, bypass is 65.

SJC1000rr Posted March 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 They use to put the lines across the road, but now its just small segments. I didn't notice them till I got informed of my speed while following a train of traffic(I was the one to get picked out!?) They are only 1-2ft wide and 3ft long at the edges of the highway. Most of them are on the Eastbound traffic (towards lancaster), but there are few going towards Columbus. The troopers will wait on the West side of 33 across from Pleasantville Rd and when your speed gets called in...out they come and pull you over. When I went down and back, they had at least 1-4 cars pulled over at any given time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
