I try to go the speed limit but if I'm not careful I slowly creep up to 65 or 70 on some of the long downhill sections.
According to the Alton Police Report that is this weeks " The Baysider" the Police made 75 motor vehicle stops and handled eight motor vehicle complaint-incidents for the week of March 24-30.
75 motor vehicle stops in one week...this SUV police car must be dedicated strictly to catching speeders on Rt 28. |
I was told by a local officer that any tickets that are written, that money goes to the state, not the town. I don't have any evidence to back that up though...
