Interstate 57 both north and south
It is set up as a construction zone with barriers narrowing the interstate to one lane and closing off the left lane. There is no sign stating that the speed should be reduced. There are two local policemen in the median clocking motorists as they enter the “construction zone”. There is nothing wrong with the road either going north or south. On Sunday, September 15, 2019, there were no construction workers, no construction equipment, and absolutely no indications that any kind of construction was happening at all. The policeman quotes the speed he clocked as the motorist came to the first barrier, despite the motorist immediately releasing the cruise control and slowing. The policeman states that because it is speeding in a construction zone the motorist must present to the court no matter where in the United States the motorist lives. The least expensive ticket for speeding is $265. It is unclear if this is going to be more because it is “construction”. If the motorist cannot attend the court he must obtain an Illinois attorney, starting at another $350. The day we were stopped another motorist was stopped on the opposite side of the interstate. The police man who stopped us was a Ullin City Policeman wearing a black T-shirt with POLICE printed on the back. This is clearly a speed trap and needs to be investigated.
