Going South on Overseas Highway (US1) as you enter Marathon.

Marathon Key, FloridaFeb 13, 20170 Comments

Going South before you enter Marathon you are traveling on a 2 lane road with a speed limit of 55MPH. As you enter Marathon the road becomes 4 lanes. The speed limit decreases and there is a police cruise stopped about 50 feet from the traffic light on the swale going south. Your attention is drawn to police cruiser and you start looking for the speed limit sign of which there is none. The Speed drops to 45 MPH quickly. However you will go through a quick red light equipped with a camera. You miss the light because you are looking at the Police Cruiser and need to obey the law to slow down for a police vehicle. You are trying to see what the accident or mishap is but before you know it you don’t have time to see the light. It is a setup and the cop has the ticket pre-printed to zap you with running a red light. You are trying to obey the law but it is a classic case of “Entrapment”. The Cruiser could easily be parked further south so as not to draw attention to it.
