Other states have been doing this for years (they may do this down here in SC, I'm not sure). I understand wanting to slow people down driving through construction zones, but you know there's some good old-fashioned revenue enhancement going on here too. It's the same old same old--set the speed limit below what people drive, and rake in the cash. Nice racket.

They included an Isuzu Trooper with a kayak rack going 79 mph; a red Jetta with New Hampshire plates doing 77 mph, and a van with contractor racks clipping along at 83 mph.

I've driven that road many times. 80 mph is a reasonable speed and traffic actually travels around 80. Driving slower or faster than the 80 mph area would be dangerous.

All part of the keep Maine green program, Keep Maine Green, bring money!

Every little ticket helps get the state back in the black or atleast in the grey.

It is taking longer to add one lane than it took to build the originl turnpike.

"It's not entrapment, it's just unconventional enforcement,"

I have a real problem with this concept, and it is not just related to speed limits.
