Be Careful Driving on I-71!
Linndale, Ohio, a community of less than 200 residents, is only three blocks long. It’s divided by a quarter-mile of Interstate 71. For years, police have been ticketing motorists who speed down this sliver of interstate. The 5,000 tickets Linndale’s officers issued last year contributed most of its 500,000 annual budget. Somebody quipped that we should add these words on Linndale’s “Welcome” sign: “You’re under arrest!”
