Interstate 70 near State Route 142

West Jefferson, OhioFeb 19, 20040 Comments

Going eastbound toward Columbus, just after you go under the State Route 142 overpass (exit number 85, Plain City), there is a sweeping curve as you cross the Big Darby Creek. Just after the small bridge, there is an “emergency vehicle turn around” in the median. I travel this route at least twice a week now (usually on the weekends), and used to travel this route daily, and I have regularly seen an OSHP patrol car there (sometimes two). The speed limit is the normal 65, and they usually aren’t too strict, as I generally go past at about 70 (once at 75, and I was very surprised that I didn’t get pulled over), but once I was pulled over, going under 65 because the roads were a little slick, for reasons other than speeding. I have only seen them clocking eastbound drivers here, probably because westbound drivers have a long, clear line of sight to the spot where they sit.
