Is it really still a work zone on Wellborn between Balcones and Rock Prairie? Or did the contractor just forget to remove the signs?

Work Zone on Wellborn?

I have wondered myself over the past few months. It's marked 45 on both sides of a completed 6-lane road, which only makes sense if you are looking at it from the perspective of making money off tickets.
Someone should go take them down.
I hope they will eventually re-surface much of that area.

Not it!
The lanes between the work zone signs is rather rough. I bet they left them up and are going to resurface in the next few months. Besides, the signs slow some drivers down from 70 to 50 mph.oklaunion said:

People can't drive without having wrecks at 45mph. They won't do well at 55mph. Just leave it 45mph. It's only a mile or so.
They'll start the resurfacing on Friday before a home football game.
Since it's a state highway, the city probably can't take the signs down. The can request TXDOT to do so.AgGunNut said:

I called COCS months ago after calling TxDOT because they informed me that this was a COCS run project. IMO COCS has their head in the sand. At that time they said signs stayed up because of RR Xing rework scheduling. That was done long ago.......woodiewood said:Since it's a state highway, the city probably can't take the signs down.

Couldn't be that CoCS is using it as a money grab to write tickets.
No way.
No way.
Ought to be an easy way to overturn the ticket when the left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing.
When they opened the crossing they took down all signs and it 2as back to 55 for a month or two.75AG said:

The current work zone signs went up the week before memorial day. They did nothing for a month. Spent a couple days putting curb at an old driveway on the north side lanes. Spent a couple days putting curb across Cain. Then moved up to put curb by the turn lane for deacon that should have been added when they added the lane.
I originally thought it would be for resurfacing, but there isn't need to put the signs up 4 months ahead of time. Another well run project...
I would think you would know someone or you would know someone who knows someone????
The power of TexAgs trumps all.
CSRD* needs something to do. Maybe if they write enough tickets, then the council can stop robbing CSU to add to the general fund.
* College Station Revenue Department, since they like to be so heavy-handed.

The city, probably.
I understand the ticket revenue profit for tickets issued in a work zone, however doesn't the fine print state that the increase in fines is only when workers are present in a work zone? Since they're are no workers present, isn't is just an ordinary speeding ticket?
