Plus, as catch5 mentioned you can't see shit!!! Money controls the slow side on Monroe and that's never going to change. A group of individuals will always make sure their playground stays how they like. I'm on Monroe 40 days a year and NEVER go up the creeks on the slow side, takes too much time. Got 2 tickets there 15 years ago, 1 I deserved cause I was hauling the mail, the 2nd I argued cause I was going maybe 5-6 mph. Since then I just don't bother.
