Is there an area road where you drive more cautiously because it has a reputation for being a speed trap?

JEFF CUTLIP, Centerville: “There are two: The suburban one is in Oakwood on Ohio 48 from Arrow Wine to Patterson. The other one is out on Ohio 73 near Harveysburg, on your way to Caesarscreek. That’s notorious.”

PAULA PRICE, Centerville: “I-75 south, in the construction zone, when no construction is under way. I got a ticket on a Sunday afternoon and another at 10:00 at night. My suggestion is for officers to have a pay-ahead system or card swipe, so I could be on my way.”

TIM DAVIS, Farmersville: “In Miamisburg, as you’re coming from Farmersville-West Carrollton Road and you make a right. People fly through there, because it’s rural, but the speed limit is only 35 mph. Miamisburg cops sit there all the time.”
