Don’t Look, But That PennDOT Worker Has a Radar Gun

Author/Presenter: Schmitz, Jon
Abstract:

The Pennsylvania State Police are going undercover to catch speeders in work zones. The six troopers who took part in Operation Yellow Jacket issued 45 speeding citations and two citations for other violations. They also gave out 52 warnings. Officials are amazed at the number of speeders and the speed at which they are travelling. They want motorists to get the message that when a speed limit is reduced in a construction zone, the lower limit must be observed at all times, not just when the zone is active.
