The Marissa Police sit back in a parking lot as you enter the city limits from the north; just as the speed limit is reduced from 55 MPH to 35 MPH. They also patrol all of St. Rt. 13 as it passes through Marissa.

Route 13 at Hwy 4
This area is heavily patrolled and they look for any reason to pull you over.I had out-of-state plates and passed through weekly and would be stopped nearly every time. The speed limit is posted and reasonable, but they will come up with any reason to stop you and ask questions.
