Northbound 281 where speed changes to 55 from 70

Johnson City, TexasDec 23, 20120 Comments

I was ticketed for 68 in a 55. I was doing 68, cruise control set, when the limit suddenly dropped to 55 and I was immediately lit up. I think the officers know there is an issue with the speed in that stretch of highway, which is why they set up just on the other side to catch unknowing drivers. It’s not marked well and it’s a very sudden change. Johnson City should be doing the right thing by marking the change better but instead sit and collect revenue. Shame on you, Johnson City!

Nugent Ave southbound

Johnson City is changing signs all over the place. On Nugent, the speed limit drops from 45 to 35 and the sign is hard to see right by a big sign of 20 mph for school with a flashing light. You’ll miss it and the cop is hiding right around the curve, so you have no time to slow down to 35 before he clocks you. No leeway whatsoever. I never speed, but I got a ticket here. I’m disgusted, this is a speed trap and as close to entrapment as I have seen personally.

municipal cops sit in the dark in front a restaurant at the crossroads where the traffic light is @ 281n & 290 sw to fredericksburg–at late hours they turn on flashing yellow & red lights instead of the normal stop lights– with no one on the hwy. late at night — i slowed to a rolling stop- no one else on the road coming from either direction – light was flashing red – cop hustled out with lights on and wrote me a $153 ticket for not stopping completely w/ a pause – he himself cruised right thru the light with no pause and wrote the ticket – they are thieves and liars in johnson city texas- I cordially asked for a warning – he replied re-read the safety handbook for driving — beware they are corrupt and out to write as many tickets as possible here !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! state & local police

Coming into town from the south

70 mph cresting a hill. speed drops to 60 as soon as you come over the top and see the city (we arrived at night). DPS took us to jail. If you can’t pay the fine for 10% over you go to jail until you pay. we were there six days.
