This is a 2002 comment. Pretty old. Construction on I-70 in front of Lambert Airport was completed long ago.

I can attest to this trap. Edmundson has some of the most unethical shenanigans on their few feet of highway jurisdiction of any community that I have ever witnessed. Conveniently, I was told I was going one mph over their allowed speeding window, although I imagine my out of state plates had more to do with that, than anything. I was issued a double fine for the apparent travel safe zone and when I returned later that day to get photographic evidence of the scene, I witnessed the same officer pull over five more people in a 20 minute window. Quota time... get them in, get them out. Seriously questionable ethics in these parts

I joined the huge group of victims two days ago, in 'midst of a 2,000 mile ride home to Phila. on my bike. After receiving the $300 ticket I saw a handful of victims pulled over dangerously on the shoulder. Definitely a case of highway robbery that's been going on too long--see: www.stltoday.com/news/local/metro/st-louis-county-cities-tag-speeders-with-heavy-fines-on/article_352c3f26-2208-11e0-abb3-00127992bc8b.html What a revenue-generation machine; the citation even includes an online payment option, www.edmundsontix.com Can't remember the last time I received a moving violation; has to be over ten years ago!
