Ohio 70 mph limit study notes ticket trends and hot spots
A Toledo area paper analyzes 2 million speeding tickets from 2007 to 2012, finding 70 mph limits reduce tickets by 4.2 percent on the Ohio Turnpike after an April 2011 rise and identifying I-71 mile marker 48 near Wilmington as the top speeding hotspot. The study cites staffing changes under Col. Born, with Wilmington Post reporting 10,000 plus tickets at the spot from 2007 to 2012, and notes ongoing construction and future 70 mph zones.

Ohio troopers write speeding tickets findings 2007 2012
An analysis of 2 million speeding tickets issued by the Ohio Highway Patrol from 2007 to 2012 highlights that 80 mph attracts the most tickets and that 15 mph over the limit is the most common violation. It notes drivers cluster around 70 mph on freeways and that officer discretion drives ticketing decisions. The report shows men receive about twice as many tickets as women, with 20 year olds most ticketed.

Turnpike speed limits and safety study findings
A review of 19 studies from the Traffic Operations and Safety Laboratory at the University of Wisconsin questions clear safety gains from a 5 mph rise to 70 mph. The Wisconsin study notes potential initial increases in speed related fatalities but cautions estimates are unclear. Other studies, including Indiana and Purdue analyses, suggest steadier crash severity or reduced speed variance when limits rise.
