On Hwy 251 going from Peru Illinois from interstate 80 heading to Mendota. 500 yds (I talked to a lawyer in the town and he gave me the yardage) after the city limits starts they drop the speed limit to 45 and sit right on the other side of the sign. This road is straight as can be and no hills or anything. Also the town of Mendota has population of 7,000 and the section they patrol is at least 5 miles outside of any type of residential or business. This is 2 hours outside Chicago and is all corn fields. The worst part is I got a ticket for doing 61 in a 45 (on a road that should be 55) and the cop wrote the ticket up as must appear in court ticket and I live in California. I did not give him any attitude or anything as this only makes matters worse.
