North Olmsted, Ohio Speed Traps
Just after exiting from I-80 onto I-480 near Fitch Road
The speed limit which is 75mph on I-80 quickly drops to 60mph after exiting to the bypass with no speed limit sign indication until 6-10 miles down the interstate. Officer sits alongside the side of the road picking unsuspecting drivers off. Very nefarious!
