Selmer, Tennessee Speed Traps

Local PD hides behind row of pine trees at church running radar. Officer relies soley on radar reading rather than visually IDing suspected target, estimating target speed, THEN using radar to confirm speed.

Photo speed trap they take your picture and send you a threatening citation to visa them money. Mine was 56 in a 45 for 50 dollars plus a dollar and a half service fee.. Some service

A TN. State trooper lies in wait just past where these two routes intersect on route. 45 south. Trooper waits directly opposite Dollar General store in a small group of rundown auto repair shops. The speed limit for this small portion of route 45 is 45 mph. Approx. half mile or so down the road where it devides into a four lane hwy the speed limit jumps to 65 mph. The same applies for a mile or so on route 45 north just before you reach the intersection of routes 45 & 57. There is a traffic light at this intersection.

Robo-cop, as mentioned above, was fired (!), mainly because one of the Aldermen got two tickets from it, and a local businessman complained in the op-ed page of the local paper when one of his high-dollar customers from Memphis was ticketed. Robo-cop no longer exists, and has been sent home.

However, beware of the intersection of Hwy 45 Bypass and US 45 South. You come off the hill in a 65mph zone into a 50 mph zone, and there are cameras at the bottom of the hill to greet you.

robo cop will nail you in city limits. supposedly they allow 11 over which is 30 mph + 11 = 41 mph. don’t bet on it. got me a 39-39. heard several others some as low as 37. big time speed trap for sure. enter at your own risk.
