St.Rt. 95 just West of Mile Post 19 East of Menards

Marion, OhioOct 28, 20190 Comments

When drivers are westbound on St. Rt. 95, which is a 55 mph road, just west of milepost 19 there is a 35 mph ahead warning sign. However there is not enough distance to get slowed down before the 35 mph sign which is still east of the first Menards entry! State Patrol really like this area as they are usually close by. It happened to me too, late afternoon this past LABOR DAY. I went to court, State patrolman coming eastbound says he “visually” thought I was speeding so he passed me, looked right at me and flipped around near Day Spring Church, then being 2 cars back behind me at which point he says he then clicked in on me but I then traveled 35 mph through 3 traffic lights, past U.S. 23, THROUGH THE 4th traffic light just west of U.S.23, then PAST MILEPOST 18! Just beyond that the car directly behind me turned off and this OSP THEN puts his flashers on me at the turning lane in to Edgefield Drive at Chipotles! Asked him TWICE to see the radar reading after he immediately asked me if I was hiding something in “that little purse!” And then “What are you doing over here in Marion?” I’m 71, female, drive 98% of the time due to husbands illness, have impeccable driving record and had my witness! I lost! Did I feel this was a speed trap? YES! Marion Munincipal Courts make lots of money from this area. I am told as OSP seems to focus on the area where the speed limit drops from 55 to 35! This particular officer, I was told, was in court most of the day! What’s that tell you? BIG SPEED TRAP!
