    Default MO - Missouri Troopers Crack Down On Construction Zone Speed

    (KTVI--myFOXstl.com) --

    On Monday, Troopers cracked down on speeders going through construction zones on Interstate 70 near the Mid Rivers Mall. The Missouri Highway Patrol handed out more than one hundred speeding tickets.

    They say many motorists were driving nearly 80mph, in a 50mph zone. One motorist was clocked at 93 miles an hour.

    The Highway Patrol also had a spotter in the air. He used a stop watch and preset markers on the ground to determine the speed of some drivers.

    Last year on Missouri roads, more than a dozen highway workers were killed. Sergeant Al Nothum says speed played a major role in nearly all of the collisions.

    Fines for speeding through a construction zone start at two hundred and fifty dollars.

    the regular ticket cost. That was the case for motorists caught yesterday between 2 and 4 p.m. , he said.

    The enforcement was a reminder to motorists that they must slow down for construction workers; about 15 workers are struck and killed every year in Missouri, he said.

    Nothum said that highway patrol will conduct another such enforcement at the end of November, but the location has yet to be decided.
