Castleberry, Alabama Speed Traps

traveling north on rural highway 31 at 55miles per hour you pop over a little hill and there is Castleberry (population 564) before you and right there is a 40 mile per hour speed limit sign. The town is less than 2 sq miles big and has one caution light. The cop just sits there and waits for you to come over the hill.

cop said we were clock passing under bridge by exit 77

When traveling south on Hwy 31 as you cross the city limit of Castleberry you or topping a hill with a speed limit of 55. Just over the crest of the hill the speed drops to 45 mph. The Atmore city cop sits at the bottom of the hill with his radar pointed at the top of the hill. If you are not going 45 when you pass the sign just over the hill, they get you.

30 is pretty rediculus for a town of only about 500. The one Castleberry cop and frequent state troopers like to hide at intersections anywhere in the town limits and rake in the money. Luckily, they all use radar that is so powerful, you can pick it up in plenty of time to slow down. You do want to slow down to some extent because some people pull out in cars that struggle to make 30…

The community has three part time ploice officers including the Chief. They can’t be any fairer giving the motorists 20 mph over the speed limit . the speed are graduated from 55-50 t0 40 mph leading into town. Speed trap I don’t think so yea its a speed trap the speeders get caught.
