Hwy 50 NB and SB Both sides of town

Placerville, CaliforniaNov 08, 20150 Comments

Freeway 50 is 65 MPH. Just before coming into town the FWY loses its status and turns into SURFACE city streets, complete with three stoplights and a speed limit of 40 MPH. Just on the other side of the 40 MPH signs police sit in their patrol car either right on the side of the road or on a side street looking for those that haven’t made the transition from 65 MPH to 40. For two miles through town, it’s cherry picking time. These are local cops, not CHP or Sheriffs. Purely a revenue generator, as most folks are on their way to or back from Tahoe.
