Valparaiso, Indiana Speed Traps
State Route # 2 near State Route # 49
There is heavy road construction on #2, just East of #49 (due to a new mall going in). The lanes change around every few days, and I have been seeing the police sitting UNDER Rt. 49 trying to catch speeders! The bad thing about this is, with the road lanes changing around so often, most people are concentrating on staying in the correct lane (cones and markers are EVERYWHERE!), instead of paying attention to the speed limit (which I am not even sure what it is anymore!), and they are getting caught! I just think the police are taking unfair advantage of the people trying to avoid accidents in that area, with all of the current construction, lanes changing, etc.
