W. Corsicana St.   Athens, Texas

The police like to sit in OReillys parking lot or across street getting individuals coasting down the hill west out of town square. The posted limit is 30, but unless you apply your brakes continually, you will coast at a higher speed normally 40 to 48. They should know that it would be more realistic to post the 40 mph sign at the railroad underpass since it turns to 40 directly aftering the coasting down the hill. Wow what a quota getter!

FM 317 (AKA Loop 317) between TX 19 and FM 1616   Athens, Texas

There is a hill and the police hide behind it and will catch you for 1 mile over the limit. At this time the limit is 65, but current talks in city council chambers may make a drop to 50 possible in the near future
