Interstate 8 near Mile Marker 14

Yuma, ArizonaFeb 05, 20081 Comments

About Mile marker 13 the speed decreases from 75 to 65. There is a slight downgrade on the highway and under the bridge several police officers like to wait. When I saw it from the top angle I assumed there was an accident. why else would 3 patrol cars be there. Of course they were focusing the radar. At the angle the devices can get several variations in speed. In my case with wind and the angle they suggested I was traveling at 99 mph when in fact I had cruise control set at 62.5. The officer who issued the violation smiled at me when I told him I would fight the ticket and said "We get overtime for going into court."
Unfortunate for the officer I had my camera phone and recording device recording all of his statments.

If you are going to say the speed limit changes you need to get the right mile marker. Speed reduces from 75 to 65 westbound at mile marker 21 not 13, and there is no downgrade passed mile marker 17. Of course that's westbound, eastbound it is 65 from the state line to almost mile marker 19 where it changes to 55 until mile marker 21.
