45 MPH Construction Zone Speed Limit I-294 Chicago

It's not just Chicago it's any major city. The speed limit on PA 28 in Pittsburgh is 45 but everyone goes 70-80. Ever run the Jersey turnpike?100 mph is slow on there. Doesn't bother me, with all those idiots flying around the police don't worry about a truck driver running 10-15 over the limit.

 

Get a speeding ticket in a construction zone in one of my trucks and you’re done. There’s not a lot that I’m totally intolerant of, but that’s one of them.

 

Big cities = people just don't care. Just keep doing what you are doing. The world doesn't need more of those types.

 

Hah Des Moines has them all bet there was a report just a couple weeks ago on the DM news per Capita.. they have the most Speeding tickets issued over 100 mph in the United States.. Hell the whole state is bad

 

I do the same, it’s expensive but 355 is a nice drive compared to 294.

 

I’ve never noticed anyone get pulled over for going 65 even in construction. There’s a dicey bend near Joliet if your load is unstable but otherwise as long as you aren’t weaving in between lanes or hammering past on the left side nobody cares. And go the speed limit when alone in construction. I almost hit a worker going 85 in a construction zone when I used to be a laborer. I still have no idea what he was doing standing in the middle of a highway at night.

 

78 through Kutztown is the same way, trucks keep left and I know that any governed eld truck I passed in the last ten miles is going to go blowing back by me

 

LMAO. Waco, TX I-35. 8 miles of 55mph north and south. Minimum speed ANYONE is doing including LEO'S is 65-70. Why? People are sick of doing miles of low speed so they can work in an area less than a city block.

 

I know it's frustrating, but just obey the law, it's your JOB,,to obey the law. And you probably don't see it, but these people get their due down the line somewhere. It's EXTRA gratifying if it happens in front of you. I was told never to gloat, but I can't resist a toot of the horn as you pass them on the shoulder, "not so happy now, eh? People are generally idiots that can't chew gum and walk, much less text or talk and drive, and don't realize they are speeding. It's the same mentality for multi vehicle pileups and until the Feds get their heads out of their rears and realize, the cell phone is the smoking gun to all these mishaps, it won't end anytime soon.
