State Highway 19 near State Route N & S of Thomaston
Georgia State Patrol wrote me a ticket for no seatbelt then proceeded to tell me I was traveling 59 in a 55 zone also said I was to drive ONLY in the right lane except to pass. Did not write me a ticket for the two latter violations.
Barnesville Street near Avenue G to Avenue E
The speed trap is on Barnesville St. The police are usually sitting parked, with lights off, on the "old mill" parking lots or at the Easy Stop store, mainly at night or around 5 am, trying to catch us commuters to out-of-town jobs it seems. Wish they would patrol the neighorhoods for the "crack dealers" and leave us commuters alone. Also watch out anywhere in Upson Co., because the State Patrol and sheriff’s department are swarming like buzzards also.
