It was a Sunday morning, I came upon barrels with no indication of the Construction speed. It was a 4 line highway with no Construction signs. I looked around for a speed limit sign or even any notification about construction. . I was just slowing down to get to 45MPS . Police patrol car made a U-turn and stopped me. Speed limit was 35 with no warning. I asked where the signs were, the only speed sign was for an intersection 2 miles back for 35MPH. She could not tell me were the construction speed limit was indicated. All she responded was “It was back there, You just need to be aware of the area”. I am not a person who drives reckless, if I would of known the speed limit was 35 I would have never drove the speed I did. I am from Cincinnati, OH. I was told by a state trooper from another state to video tape the path I road and show the judge. My problem is I live 5 hours away and live on a fixed income. I do not get sick days or personal days. I can not miss work, so now I have a 144.00 ticket and will have 2 points on my license. This has extremely upset me. If Collegdale is going to have construction they need to please indicate the speed limit. It cant just be a guessing game. I guessed and I was wrong. I will now have to deal with this for the next 3 years on my insurance but the officer and the City of Collegedale meet their quota get their money … So they are happy.

This is a major misleading unfair problem to many drivers. I was not the only driver that was given a ticket in that area that day. It was awful.
