Bradley, Arkansas Speed Traps

Officer stopped me at the gas station 4 speeding ticket was $100.00 but never showed up on my driving record

The officer stopped me this week for doing 56 in 45. Told me that I was within the 800′ of the curve where the speed limit changes. I travel that road at least once a week, its a well know speed trap, the officer is always sitting there. I always drive at least 5 mph under speed limit in this dopey little town, and on top of all that, I have two radar detecting systems in my truck, NO ALARM. The Arkansas Attorney General’s office should investigate the Bradley good ol boys and while there at it, should probably look into the Lewisville boys as well. Where is all of the $$ going?????????

City police staged on outskirts of very small town within sight of speed increase sign. (45 to 55 mph)

Officers writing tickets for 56 mph (+11)to keep concentration of less than 10 mph citations down. This area is sparsely populated county road.

2/2008

Small town with not too many officers where the speed
limit drops from 65mph to 55 mph to 45 mph.

Bradley is a town of less than two hundred people 18 miles south of US 82 and five miles north of the Louisana state line. The town limits are only one-half mile wide. Speed limit signs go from 55 to 50 to 45 to 40 in a few yards. The town of Bradley has two police cars and one at least is 24/7 and sit in the parking lot of the only building (a gas station) on the highway, which is at the 40 mile limit sign so they shoot the radar at that sign. They expecially like trucks going from IH 30 in Hope, Ark to IH 20 in Shreveport, La. Traffic fines are 91% of town’s total revenue. The state of Arkansas has tried to eliminate this trap but so far has only been able to raise the limit from 25 to the current 40 mph.
