I wonder how many of those were the workers.
motorists and other drivers ???????????
“Slow for the Cone Zone”
I don’t have a problem with them running strong speed enforcement on active construction zones, that’s an issue of worker safety. But too often, I’ve seen those low speed limits and excessive fines continue to stay up when a construction area is completely deserted. That’s nothing more than revenue enhancement.

Notice that they HIDE the radar guns and cameras because they DO NOT want you to slow down, the want you to get a ticket so they can get the money. Once again, this has NOTHING to do with safety and everything to do with taking your money.
Probably trying to drum up some extra funds for roadkill cleanup and the Govnah’s daily jet commute : http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2017856/posts
294 between O’Hare and the Wisconsin border is darn near one continuous construction zone. The lanes that are closed are blocked off with concrete barriers. Over the total length of the construction zone, maybe 2% has workers.
Last time I was on it, even the cops were cruising at 70 . . .
And just like they reduced yellow light times for Red-light cameras, watch as the speed limit magically gets lower and lower in construction zones so they can up the “take” from these speed cameras.
More fleecing of the populace under the guise of safety.

I thought Gov. Doyle (WI) was the only one pushing his bagmen to collect more for the state. He has been monitoring Hwy. 41 for some time now. As the states require more give away money we can look forward to much more of this.
