It's always a trap; note that the sign specifies "when workers are present."
How would I "note" that, I have never been there. By your own admittance, there is a sign, and you have knowledge of it. I don't see a problem.
Now, show me anybody on a construction crew who qualifies as a "worker."

He was nice and asked were I was carrying and i told him IWB, he ever said another word.

Later, I went to the station to complain about where they were set up. This was at Campbell and I-10 feeder going east The ticket was failure to turn left, I went straight, this was only a two lane but narrowed down after the intersection. Of course I was not alone. he had a parking lot full of evil lawbreakers.

This is due to the construction and really ticks me off when they set a trap like this. Spring Valley is known as a ticket trap but this is real low. Now Defensive driving :mad:

It was not the truck that got you stopped, it was the lack of front plate. I doubt DPS was looking for that type of truck. DPS makes lots of no front plate stops.

I am glad the contacts were good. DPS is a fine organization.
