Godley, Texas Speed Traps
Godley is one of THOSE towns
I’d advise anyone to avoid travelling SH 171. Godley expanded their city limits to Cresson to the NW and Cleburne to the SE.
Pretty simple. Never go through, never do business in Godley. Let ’em wonder why their town dried up.
The whole town…pay attention to City Limits signs…avoid
I grew up in Rosebud. Then there’s Lott. Both horrific speed traps.
Well Godley has them beat. Extended city limits as far as they could on any highway. For one thing only.
AVOID SH171 ALTOGETHER.
South of Godley on Hwy 171
Headed south out of Godley on 171. Speed limit increases from 50 to 60. Lite traffic, 10:00 Pm. Ticketed going 63 in a 60. Must have had an off night.
North FM 2331
The Godley Police hides on the west side of FM2331 in access roads for gas wells. Some of the sites a hidden by trees. They turn off the lights at night.
They also park on the entrance to Bruce Rd. day or night where they cannot be seen.
Northern border of Godley on 171.Godley High School parking
There are few places they like to sit in Godley. On the northern border of Godley on 171 a cop sits on the west side of 171 on the side of the road. In the high school parking lot. About 1 mile from 171 on FM2331(speed limit is 45 for about 2 miles before 171).
BEWARE!!! THERE IS ONE GODLEY COP THAT TURNS HIS RADAR OFF AND SWITHCES IT ON SOON AS YOUR ABOUT 100 YARDS AWAY. HE DOES THIS TO NOT ALERT ANY RADAR DETECTORS. your best bet while driving through Godley is to just do the speed limit until you get out of Godley.
