Here’s the question I have
Can you get ticketed for traveling a closed road and is it closed if officials call it impassable or does it have to be deemed a closed road? I received a ticket for passing cones a few years back. No road closure sign or anything just 3 cones that you could easily drive through. State Trooper stated Alabama doesn't have enough funding to be able to supply road closure signs on all roads that cones are the same as road closed signs. Yeah, i dont trust anything ANY state trooper says. Like last year when i got my ticket…he said “i have this road posted at 45mph”. I went back and looked. There is not a speed limit sign ON THAT ROAD, period. State troopers are the rule making up, most arrogant forms of law enforcement there is. But hey, they can drive as fast as they want on THEIR roads. Sorry to de-rail. Have you ever noticed every trooper has that dead-pan dragnet demeanor? A company I worked for one time was doing work on the side of the Interstate (inside city limits) we had a city police on the side of the road with his lights on (just for the “blue light” effect). This cornball Trooper pulls up and said “local police have no jurisdiction on the Interstate” My boss told him he tried to schedule the Troopers but they didnt have one available. The trooper on scene call his lieutenant and the lieutenant confirmed they didnt have one available. The trooper on scene was leaving said “Well, dont let this happen again, reschedule your work next time”. What a prick…..

I have been an insurance agent for 31 years and no policy I have ever sold or read said anything about an exclusion for driving on a closed road. Some "non standard" policies have an exclusion if you are committing a crime but I've never seen that used to exclude coverage for driving on a closed road. However, if they say the road is closed due to weather it is best not to drive on it obviously. Thank you! I imagine there are emergencies, medical emergencies especially where a person has no chice but to drive on a closed road.

I think it's 35, but you're right as I recall. There is a state wide speed limit on unposted roads.

I imagine there are emergencies, medical emergencies especially where a person has no chice but to drive on a closed road. When I was dating my wife her father passed. Her aunt and uncle from Memphis picked her up here and drove down to their house on 30A. I had a wedding scheduled for that Saturday and I was gonna drive down for the Sunday funeral. Winter storm hit. Wedding don’t cancel so I called state trooper and asked if 65 was open at Cullman. I was told closed. Asked if I drove anyway, they told me they’d arrest me. So I went Sunday morning and asked again when I got to the barricade. They said no problem you could have gone last night. 😡

So what if you are required to be at work, such as a hospital?
