 (REGIONAL) -- Wouldn’t it be nice to know where the state patrol issues the most tickets along Interstate 5 so that you could avoid that area entirely when possible or at least be extra vigilant when you drive through it?
Well, your prayers have been answered.
The area along I-5 where troopers issued the most traffic tickets is milepost 129 near 84th Street in Pierce County, with 2,717 tickets issued last year, up from 1,636 issued in 2010, according to a new report in the Morning News Tribune
Some other areas where tickets get handed out in wholesale quantities include milepost 127 near the state Route 512 interchange and milepost 139 near Porter Way in Milton.
Areas on state Route 16 near the I-5 interchange also have a high number of tickets, with 2,191 issued between mileposts 1 and 2 last year.
