For safety’s sake, slow down at the split

I am seriously concerned about the safety of people in their automobiles as well as the construction workers at the I-24/I-75 split.

I drive through that area frequently and experience “near collisions” each time. Traffic, especially 18-wheelers, do not pay any attention to the 45 mph posted speed limit. I have had a lot of “close calls” with the speeders. No one is slowing down.

Where are the police? There are a lot of posted speed limit signs, but I never see any police, city or state , patrolling. I pray that people reading this will decide to slow down in this work area. We don’t need any more lives lost.

This is a serious situation. Please slow down, for the sake of your own life as well as for other lives.
