    i believe an ohio state boy called on me as i was floating those hills down into cincinnati on 75 early one morning. simply warned me to watch my speed on the downhills...because he sure was.

    If these reports are true, than it is refreshing to read.

    Here in MD we still have some signs up from a long gone era that read "police monitor ch. 9".

    I certainly could never get any of them.

    How long can it be? The one on 301 entering MD from DE looks new.

    Not like recently placed, but the sign itself isn't weathered....

    I haven't been up that way in some time, but I'm thinking that state highway specs call for the signs, regardless of relevance.

    Sure they do,they monitor in the scales also_One time when inside of the Harrisonville MO scale.I heard this" Hey is the chicken coop open Southbound.Yes it is.How do I go around it.Other driver responded with how to get around it.Take F hwy or something don't remember.About this time MO HP officer tells the other one,I gotta go try to find this guy.Grabbed his gold "aviator sunglasses and a parka,I'll be back.So yeah,this is how they gather "intelligence" of what's going on out there.

    That's lame. It's faster and easier to point something out on a cb then a phone. Plus a lot of stuff we might want to point out won't rise to needing to call 911.

    I agree but management just wanted to save the money.

    In your position, I think I'd have to put one in there myself.
