Marshall, Texas Speed Traps
Town of Marshall Hwy 59
They have enforcement camera’s that have a very short yellow light. When you come up on a yellow light you had better stop, because it turns red before you can get through the intersection.

The speed trap below is correct but the speed limit goes from 45 to 55 as you pass Walmart. They are very watchful of this area. It stays 55 past the Light at the loop on the north for a couple of blocks. Then it goes to 70 day/65 night. Don’t push it because they are vigilant.

Marshall just added 2 miles of camera monitored stop lights all along 59 between Walmart and I-20. I have seen many trucks get photo’d (you will see the flash even in daylight) as the speed limit and yellow duration doesn’t give enough time to slow down. If the lights on Hwy59 go yellow stop but watch your mirrors. There have been many accidents from people slamming on their brakes and getting rearended.
Hwy 59 North – leaving town
The speed limit is maintained at 45 long after you leave the built-up area of town. There are nothing but woods on both sides of the road so keeping the speed limit at 45 serves no ‘public safty’ need. The police (usually on a motorcycle)are waiting in the driveway of the last business on the west side of the road.
