Driving south on US 19 from Crystal River and just past the car dealerships on the left, when you come into Homosassa the speed limit drops within several hundred feet from 55 to 45 mph.

Citrus County Sheriffs routinely set up speed traps on the right, just after the first 45mph speed limit sign. A radar car sits in one of the stores on the left and radios two or three pursuit cars that wait a quarter of a mile further down the road. The pursuit cars sit on the right (west) near the McDonalds or on the entrance road to WalMart and wait for the speeders to approach.

This area is especially popular during peak traffic hours on weekday mornings and on weekends.
