    How often do we see truckers speeding through construction zones?

    How often are there cops there to enforce construction zone speed limits?

    I see FAR more 4-wheelers speeding through and at much higher rates of speed, no matter the time of day. I travel through the same 5, every single day.

    There regularly are troopers in 4 of them, with two of those having as many as three troopers working it.

    Your point?

    All I know is it seems when I approach a construction zone lately , say it's 50mph...a lot of moron truckers pass me doing 65-70 plus. I dont fool around in the construction zones, I do the set limit. Finally the other day a trooper got one who passed me doing at least 70 in a 50 in a construction zone, but that's a rare sight.
