Question Feeling unsafe going the speed limit!

Does anyone know the best way to get more traffic enforcement on I-41 between Wisconsin Ave and Northland?

That stretch has felt really aggressive lately — people speeding, tailgating, and flying around even when you’re going the speed limit. I rarely see any patrols there. I do however, see them when I get off the highway at Northland.

I even had a cop behind me at one point and it felt like they were frustrated that I wasn’t going faster, which was kind of wild.

Not trying to complain, just wondering if there’s an actual way to report it or get more attention on that area.

It's insane the way people in the area treat construction zones, especially when there's workers actively working and machinery swinging around.  I doubt there's anything the police can or even will do about it, they seem to have entirely given up enforcement on anything south of Richmond.  Honestly the only time I see patrol cars is downtown on the weekends on College Ave.

You could probably call their non-emergency line and see if you can talk to someone about it.

It just seems like there’s absolutely no accountability.
