Interstate 290 Eastbound near Interstate 495
The speed limit drops on 290 East from 65 mph to 45 mph approximately 1/2 mile prior to the exit ramps for 495. The majority of motorists continue at 65-75 past the speed limit change, possibly unaware of the 45mph sign which is one of many signs there.
One recent morning, about 3 officers were operating a ticket farm approx. 1/4 mile after the speed limit change. Several motorists had been caught.
I do not know how often this trap operates. It may be used to fill end-of-month quotas; I observed it on 6/27/05.
