Yes, actually there are. Particularly in the eastern half of the state. And the troopers use them to full advantage. Once you're west of Cleveland it gets much flatter.

Not really. They are pretty formulaic. If you keep your speed at or below ~8MPH over the limit they don't even look twice at you. I've gone past a few troopers while towing, doing a GPS-verified 80MPH in a 70 zone with no cars around me and have been ignored. My compatriots that like to cruise at 15 over get tickets -every- -single- -trip-.
I've averaged three trips a year across Ohio in the last ten years and I've not once gotten pulled over in the state.
It's also not like the shithole that is Virginia, where 80MPH becomes a reckless driving charge. Ohio just wants you to pay the ticket so they can keep the racket going.
