State Highway 83 near E. San Saba Avenue Menard, Texas

Speed drops quickly on southbound Hwy 83 as you enter the city. Speed signs are not seen easily. I thought I was in a 50 mph area and even saw the Sheriff coming from the opposite direction. He said I was in a 40 mph zone going 48. I was very nice to him and he was professional. I guess that is one way they earn money. In the future, I won't be spending any money in that town.

US Highway 83 near US Highway 190 Menard, Texas

City PD works with the local DPS to ensure that every infraction is enforced. My experiences:
1) was going 3-5 mph over limit. city officer followed me through town and turned on lights after I crossed city limit. Called DPS officer to give me the ticket. Called two more officers to search my car for 40 minutes w/ no probable cause (broke cd player in process). Found nothing. Claimed they did. Let me go the very instant I revealed that my father was a district attorney in tx. Ticket died on bond.

2) Was followed by young sparky officer the entire length of the town until I accelerated to the new higher speed limit too soon. Not only did I get a ticket for going 1(!) mile over the limit, my car was searched again. Junior (who had this "my hands are tied"" attitude) told me that they ""have to search every college student going to Lubbock.""

Finding an alternate route will be the best 15 minutes you ever lost."
