Rio Vista, Texas Speed Traps
Highway 174 south to Rio Vista
Noticed this speed trap has been entered already but wanted to update that this speed trap is still going strong. Especially from speed zone sign 60 to 55MPH.
South of town on Hwy 174
The city limits extend 3 to 4 miles beyond the edge of town. There are very few houses and no businesses along this stretch of road and it is easy to think you are in a 70 MPH zone, but the speed limit is 60 and they will cut you no slack.
State Highway 174
Enforcement is set up on the south side of Rio Vista, 3 mile’s coming in from Meridian, TX… on the east side of state Hwy 174, hidden on a hill, set next to the MKT railroad… also on the north side of Rio Vista coming in from Cleburne.
State Highway SH 174 near State Highway SH 714
Typical small town radar trap. Pad the city budget with speeding tickets.
State Highway 174 near S of Countryclub Rd. by rodeo grounds in Cleburne all the way thru Rio Vista
Rio Vista enforcement is high all along Hwy 174 from just outside of Cleburne (by the rodeo grounds) all the way through Rio Vista – all the way to the RV campgrounds south of town.
174 is 60 miles per hour coming out of Cleburne, but it drops to 55 somewhere near John’s Store and then again to 45 in the main part of town. Watch out for the 60 to 55 mph drop – this is where they really watch.
Going north on 174, the speed limit is 70 mph south of Rio Vista. It drops to 60 for a short stretch and then to 55 somewhere near the RV campgrounds. This is where I got stopped.
Be very cautious on weekends and especially on weekends with holidays, however enforcement is alawys quite heavy. Do not speed through Rio Vista – you will be stopped!
