Athalia, Ohio Speed Traps

This has been a speed trap for Years!! Seems strange that you need 2 cruisers for a town of about 350 people!

Athalia is a small town between Gallipolis and Proctorville, you will pass through the small town of Athalia on Rt 7. The town is about 3 miles long and it is posted 35mph, and they will stop ya, any chance they get.

The town is only maybe a half mile long yet there are two cruisers there to serve and protect.There favorite approach to attack is to have one cruiser completely visable on the side of the road facing the end of town so that the non locals will pickup the pace once you’ve passed the cruiser while the 2ND car is waiting at the other endout of site facing you as you come towards him. Its nothing new but locals still get caught on a regular basis trying to get to or from work

Small town of 350 with 2 police cars to catch you at either end of town which is about a mile long. They have quoted that they must issue at least 40 tickets a week to make their budget.
