The electronic road construction signs with K-band radar are not unique
to Ohio.  They're used in NY and MA as well, and I'm sure other states.

portable signs used for construction.  The permanent traffic advisory
signs don't have it.  And why go through all the trouble to target a
small portion of the driving population?
