GA Hwy 41/US 27 Alternate North of Town
Travelling south on GA41 as you get closer to town, the speed limit drops 55>45>35. There is really nothing in the 35 zone that warrants such a restriction. You are also on a slight downhill grade. The officer sits at an old car wash on the left, which is exactly where the drop to 35 starts. It’s best to ride your brakes in and plan on already being at 35 when you get to that sign. This is a classic small town speed trap that’s ideal to gouge money from unassuming out-of-towners. I live 2 hours away and it’s not really feasible to take half a day to ask for mercy from their “court.” The officer and the ticket both use language to make sure you know that they will have your license suspended if you do not pay the ticket. The ticket is for 54 in a 35 which seems to be a common number on this board. The fine (paid online) is an outrageous $207. This revenue generator is a shameful abuse of authority.
