Eastbound S.R. 85 Traveling east from Andover square
The section of S.R. 85 from the square to the Village line is NOW posted 25 mph If you check your gps it registers a 35 mph speed limit on this section of highway with the limit raising to 40 mph at the village line The officer in question was facing west bound sitting outside of the village limits clocking into the village . As I was approaching the village limit I was accelerating into the 40 mph limit and was clocked and ticketed for 39 in a 25. Please remember two thing the limit has been arbitrarily reduced by the village and the officer was outside of his jurisdiction when he clocked me . As an ex- law enforcement officer I did not fight this ticket because I was technically guilty of the offence but I also feel that the village is taking advantage of the situation in its enforcement also the ticket is administered through a Mayors Court which is I believe to be partial to the village coffers. Also the officer was OUTSIDE of his jurisdiction at the time which I believe is taking undue advantage of the law allowing traffic enforcement on highway adjacent to their jurisdiction.
