where the 143 comes off of the 202 and immediately drops to 45mph.. yeah, speed trap city. welp, it got me this morning. cop was a nice enough guy but not so nice as to let me off with a warning. i seriously want to look into how you can petition to get a speed limit changed for a stretch of road.
that area is under construction. it's normally 65.
i'm pretty sure it's usually 55 with the 45 now due to the construction but they've got new 45mph signage up that almost looks permanent. i'm not sure if that new overpass hardware is going to permanently limit the number of southbound lanes or not. what sucks is i was going the exact same speed when i passed him yesterday and nothing. i drive that stretch of road every morning and i've never seen a single accident on it. i'm pretty sure it can get away without the extra "supervision" from highway patrol.
and.. there were a couple of motorcycle cops on the elliot overpass. looks like it's the end of the month...
