The citation was for speeding. The location on the ticket (US Hwy 285) has a posted white and black "speed limit" of 65. The ticket states going 60 in a 45 mph zone. The 45 mph caution sign is on the exit ramp from one 65 mph Hwy (C470) to another 65 mph Hwy (US285). I was pulled over on US Hwy 285 in a posted 65 mph speed limit area after using the caution 45 mph ramp. The officer is a Town of Morrison, CO, police officer.
In fact it is a speeding ticket for going 60 in 45 and the 45 is a yellow caution sign you have a winner, since the caution speed on the sign is based on the bank and radius of the curve and center of gravity of vehicle. Meaning vehicle with high center of gravity like a truck it is not advisable to go over 45. In addition when entering a highway from an entrance ramp you are expected to merge at the speed limit of the road and how else can you do that but to accelerating while coming out of the apex of the curve.
Go take some ticket showing the sign is yellow not black and white and then show the judge rules that shows the only enforceable speed limit is those which are black and white sign an nowhere is there 45 MPH Black and White speed limit sign.
This must be a new trick the police and towns are using to raise money, I have run across more people recently who got tickets like this for speeding on the on ramp of a highway because the cautionary signs. Either the police have no clue about the laws which I doubt since they are trained professional or they are doing it in hopes people have not clue about the law.
