More......When you’re driving on Ohio interstates and highways and you just get out of the traffic congestion around a city, here’s a little advice: Slow down.
Some of the hottest spots to get speeding tickets are in rural areas, a Dayton Daily News analysis of more than 1 million speeding citations has found.
The top ticket spot in the state is on Interstate 71, just northwest of Wilmington at milepost 48. From 2007 through 2009, troopers wrote 5,524 tickets to speeders clocked at that location.
“People coming north out of Cincinnati, they’re in that congested traffic down there,” said Ohio Highway Patrol Lt. Jack Tibbs, commander of the Wilmington Post. “The first chance they really get away from the traffic is when they enter Clinton County, right at milepost 42. And their foot tends to take off on them.”
No. 2 in the state: U.S. 23, milepost 18, just north of Lucasville. Troopers wrote 4,575 tickets there in the three-year period.
No. 3 is on I-71, milepost 187, just east of Ashland, 4,291 tickets.
The top spot on I-75, No. 4 in the state, is an exception: milepost 20, just north of West Chester; 3,994 tickets.
