169 S. Frankston Hwy

Frankston, TexasOct 08, 20180 Comments

The main highways in Frankston (south of Tyler) are notorious speed traps. I’m always careful. On Labor Day at 10:30 PM I was coming into Frankston south from Brushy Creek headed to Tyler. The speed limit just outside and south of Frankston at the bridge is 55, then it drops quickly to 45 and again drops quickly in downtown to 35. I was observing these speed limits carefully and not speeding. I was stopped just north of downtown for failure to dim lights and given a warning. I was asked where I had been, how long I had been there and where I was going. My mom is 93 and Frankston is the only place where she has ever received a speeding ticket. Be careful!

Going South on Hwy 155 (ie. from Tyler into Frankston); the traps begin anywhere from the Midway Package store on the left(east side of hwy) across hwy from a church. The police post up anywhere through the Frankston area. Mostly in the following areas as observed during route: left side of hwy – at brick entrance of new housing developement; right past Bacon Chevrolet on the right – as you top the hill- school entrance drive on the right; or across the street(left side) at the Subway parking lot; approaching the small shopping center on the left(grocery store>>gas station) anywhere in the parking lot; vacant bank lot also on the left maybe 50 yards from the gas station lot(most favorite post up spot so far); as you approach the 4-way stop light in Frankston – observe view of old tire shop on corner of intersection (also a big fave); too many to list obviously. this continues anywhere in the vacinity if you travel east or west on Hwy 175 @ intersection; be cautious at any points till completely out of the Frankston area. Oh by the way; speed limit is a whopping 45 mph on a 4-lane hwy. and even slower the closer you get into town. Good luck if you’re an out-of-towner; there really are no forgivens”by Frankston P.D. Small town (low income); means big ticket quota.”””

set out on 155 & 175 taking advantage of everyone. This is the mayor’s way of making the PD payroll. Do 1 MPH over and they will nail you.
