Especially if you’re planning on driving through Malfunction Junction anytime soon. Governor Riley has assigned six more troopers to the state’s busiest interstate interchange (connecting I-20/59 with I-65) to enforce the speed reduction from 60 m.p.h. to 50 m.p.h.
According to information obtained for this report, more than 3,900 tickets have been written since the speed reduction was implemented in late March. Motorists complying with the speed limit change have been left in the dust by those that still disregard it.
There is no word as to if or when the increased patrols would end.
[…] get the message to drive safe this week, more trooper blitzes are planned for later this year (like this one at Malfunction Junction earlier this summer). […]
