I agree!!! The amount of speeding cars is ridiculous!
Every time I drive through that corridor people are doing 65+ while I'm trying to obey the law and protect the workers. It's down right scary! Shame on the speeders and shame on the Eastlake, Willoughby and Mentor police for not doing a better job enforcing the law. Imagine how much revenue they could be making right now........

If you drove RT 2 more than twice a day you would see the police.

If the cities cant or wont slow down the speeders and prevent someone from getting hurt or worse, then bring in the State Highway Patrol, believe me, they wont tollerate speeders in a construction zone.

So wait you want the workers standing behind the concrete wall to be safe by having a police officer walk out onto the highway to write a ticket? Nice.

I would rather see airplane surveillance or some sort of camera.

I dont want my car slammed into the concrete barriers by some jerk who wont slow down when the lanes narrow and shift or hits one of the bumps in the road.

The police need to make their presence known just before and after the construction zone as a reminder. I have yet to see the police from any city during rush hour when the worst of this is going on

Fines are double in a work zone injure/kill fine or jail, isnt that what the signs say?

realisticly people the cops can only be in certain spots during construction zones because those concrete barriers block any chance of squatting or pulling someone over (no shoulders). However, an earlier poster is correct, police ARE there you just dont see them during rush hour (which is the case for almost every major freeway-construction or not). I drive it frequently and see cops there all the time.

actually i live in the construction area..and i DO drive rt 2 often..maybe 3 or 4 times a day..early morning..late afternoon..early evening..i've seen cops out..but not very often..!!!!

1000 dollar fine no matter what. I bet they slow down then. Even the yuppies who ruined mentor will take notice in their little fancy cars. Everyone thinks they are nascar drivers until they kill someone, then they cry in front of a judge. What a joke, try slowing down one day then doing your normal speeding and see what the big difference is, NOTHING, you idiots.

The speed limit is 50 in a construction zone and i have been cutoff by people passing on the berms and tailgated the police need to get out there and start pulling people over. I dont want to see what happened on 271 when a construction worker got killed happen up here.

Learn how to drive to be honest. Someone passing you going 50 is going to be the same as 60. If you get hit, you're too close to the other lane (narrow or not).

If you can't take the heat, don't drive down 2.

The road is barricaded on each side. The likelihood of hitting someone is low.

All this moaning over a 10MPH difference.

why is it that women drivers can't judge distance between cars,, I mean c'mon,, wake up and pay attention, and they are everywhere. Back off...

i was told they would not stop speeders.
They are afraid it will cause an accident and they might be killed. Pass a parked patrol car thats supposed to be montering the traffic flow and they aren't even in the patrol car. You can't even find them.
I was following a red buick on to an entrance ramp to rt 2 when they dumped 2-3 fast food treys of garbage out the window. At the curve was a cop and I pulled over to report the misdeed. The cop asked if I saw it and I said yes. His reply was "well i didn't, so there is nothing I can do about it.

Yes.This is a major problem.I try to slow down and othe drivers flip you off and tailgate if you don't speed up.

I would like to say that I agree with the speeders as well as the people that want to follow the law and do the speed limit. Here in my opinion is a good compromise. If you want to do the speed limit, (which is 50 m.p.h in the construction zone) then drive on the right side. If you want to continue to speed then stay to the left in the passing lane. Why do you people feel the need to harass other drivers who simply want to follow the law? Just asking you know, God bless.

How about get contractors to work 3 shifts till job is done! Quit botching and stay in the slow lane !!

last time i looked..BOTH lanes are 50mph!!!...hate when peeps say "stay in the slow lane"..!!!..slow down..a life depends on it!!!!

Both lanes are 50 MPH, however, the left lane is generally used for passing. So if you're not passing, stay in the right lane.
