Johnson, Arkansas Speed Traps
Johnson Road near Exit Number 69
This road is a shortcut through the small community of Johnson from I-540 to HWY 71B. The community and law enforcement DO NOT like the traffic generated due to this shortcut and will stop you for going any amount over the speed limit. Simply do not speed through Johnson and you will be OK.
I-540/US71 at/near the Johnson exit, between the last Springdale exit and Fayetteville Business District Exit, North and South lanes.
Johnson Police are finally off their suspension prohibiting them from patrolling the Interstate. This was nearly the most infamous speed trap in AR until a court order forced Johnson to seek Revenue elsewhere. They are starting to patrol again, albeit cautiously. I doubt the Siren-Song of Easy Money will be a temptation the Johnson City Fathers can resist for long. Expect patrols to step up between Springdale and Fayetteville on I-540.
Wilkerson Road across from the Greenery and just north of the 4-lane bridge.
As you’re headed north on Wilkerson Road into the tiny town of Johnson, you will cross a 4-lane bridge and probably encounter a cop sitting on the right side of the road in a vacant wooded area. You’ll see a Greenery on the other side of the road. The bridge blocks your view of the speedtrap until you are almost all the way over it. Speed limit 35 mph.
