ReconRat Posted June 8, 2012 Report Share Posted June 8, 2012 (edited) Just Columbus as far as I know, but I don't know.A federal grant has added patrols looking specifically for speeding in construction zones. Apparently Thursday was the first day, and tickets were given for 20 over (65mph in 45mph zone). Expect increased patrols in these areas for an undetermined length of time. Most likely all Summer.Speed Enforcement through Construction Zones Edited June 8, 2012 by ReconRat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grapesmuggler27 Posted June 8, 2012 Report Share Posted June 8, 2012 I came through 670 yesterday around 7ish and there was a cop on east bound hiding behind the concrete wall shooting radar into the westbound side and had 4 CPD waiting to pull you over.

nautical1 Posted June 8, 2012 Report Share Posted June 8, 2012 Two weeks ago coming home on I-80 there were about 5-6 cops that had people pulled over in construction zones on the short hour drive, though most of I-80 is construction at the moment. I wish it was how some other states do it and each construction area is divided into sections and if the lights are flashing at that section then you do 55 mph, if they aren't then continue at 70 mph.

Harb67 Posted June 8, 2012 Report Share Posted June 8, 2012 (edited) This must have been a priority for longer than just since Thursday. Two weeks ago I was on 70 east between 71 and 270 - you know, where they have that totally useless construction zone where there isnt any actual construction - and there were 4 cops with people pulled over.Time to pay the driving tax, folks.

swingset Posted June 8, 2012 Report Share Posted June 8, 2012 I read an article when I lived in Arizona about a state highway official who had ordered construction zones to be lengthened to include entire stretches of road that were either not being worked on, or were unrealistically off of the timetable to be worked on...all in order to increase fines and enforcement.I think about that every time I see a long stretch of orange cones with seemingly nothing being done to the road or structures. Convenient, if you're in the revenue gathering business. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SJC1000rr Posted June 9, 2012 Report Share Posted June 9, 2012 Pretty easy concept of slowing down for the orange barrels then getting back to speed. We're done with winter, so it is the orange season after all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
