FM 2571 (Upton Rd) Just inside the City limits   Smithville, Texas

If your coming in to Smithville on Hwy 2571 (Upton Rd). A City officer will be waiting to get you for speeding on the corner of Reed St and FM 2571. The tall grass in the empty city block hides them well and the speed drops from 55 to 40. When you see the first house..... you had better be doing 40MPH. Oh and you only have three weeks to pay for your ticket or they WILL issue a warrent for your arrest and knock on your door. (I personally know this to be a fact)

FM 2104 near FM 2239   Smithville, Texas

Legal speed on divided FM Roads in Texas is 70 MPH. Cities and counties may lower the limit if deemed necessary for safety. Around the intersection of FM 2239 and FM 2104 the speed limit is posted at 60 MPH. There is not another speed limit sign for 13 miles -- in the city limits of Smithville -- but the Constable who patrols the area will stop you for exceeding 60 MPH. I was allegedly driving at 73 MPH and the ticket was about $200.00

280 Loop near Turney Street   Smithville, Texas

Upon exiting Freeway 77 onto the Loop 290 heading into Smithville, the speed limit is clearly marked at 50 mph. Less than 50 yards from the 50 mph speed sign, there is a less obvious speed sign posted 35 mph. The police car is hidden by this sign. Unsuspecting visitors, even if the 35 mph sign is seen, cannot slow down fast enough to avoid the radar. The fine is $115 plus $5 for every mile over the speed limit. I was caught at 48 mph - obviously slowing down after seeing the 35 mph sign.
