I-57, mile marker 0-10

Cairo, IllinoisOct 26, 20120 Comments

Where Missouri ends and Illinois begins. it goes from 70 to 65. I had to look at my GPS when I got pulled over because I didn’t see any signs for anything to indicate a change in the state or speed limit. I might have been next to a truck or something, but no one else in the car saw any signs either. I got a ticket for going 72 in a 65. Four other people were pulled over in the same stretch within only a few miles.

Illinois may as well put up a toll booth. I travel often between Chicago and MS. If you’re Northbound; MO limit is 70, IL is 65. Currently there is a cone zone near the border – do NOT speed thru there, They love those $375 + cost tix.
In general tho, they sit in a lot of hiding places, just over a hill, behind bushes in the median. I have the best radar detector you can get, and I set the cruise at 68 till I get thru that area.

Along Hwy 51 through entire town

Anywhere in the city limits of Cairo police cars sit along Hwy 51 enforcing the 30 MPH zone. Absolutely no leeway is given. Contrary to what some believe they do not target out of state drivers as nearly everyone I know locally has received a citation. They tend to sit near 28th St or 18th St but can be anywhere at anytime. Don’t even drive 31 MPH anywhere in Cairo.

Cairo Police sit on ramp and ticket out of state cars for speeding in construction Zone even when all traffic is going at the same speed and no signs in the right lane. Don’t believe Cairo Police have jurisdiction on I-57
