Milton, Florida Speed Traps

Traveling north Hwy. 87 transitions from two lane to four and from 55 to 45 within 30 yards. Anything over 45 is ticketed and all tickets are doubled. Local police and state troopers can be seen writing tickets all day long.

Trooper and /or county deputy sit under the tree on the east side of the road. Kind of hard to see on sunny days

Here there is a 90 degree curve with a church blocking the view either way. Since there is a school bus stop there, Milton Police sit here ALL the time in the morning (around 6 – 7 am), and afternoon ( 2 – 3 pm), you WILL NOT see them, but they sit where the forward and rear radar have you before you even know what or where the radar that got you was. The road(s) are Alabama street from mid curve south, and North ave from mid curve west, the speed limit is 30 mph and 20 mph in the curve, that is where everyone gets caught, most people do 45 to 50 mph on the straight streets and 35+ in the curve, it is a $235 ticket and is going up before the end of 2009 to around $300! So watch out! They have a plain white truck with ALL blue lights inside, you can’t see them for the tint, same with an unmarked white crown vic, and somtimes a motorcycle is there. And since it is a school bus stop, they DO NOT give warnings, and it is zero tolerance, if you are fast enough, you get a misdemeanor arrest!

Lady cop in White King Cab full size truck pulls in my estimation pulls at least 10 vehicles over a day. She always pulls them over into my subdivision, so I witness the misery. Milton must be hurting for income, so she’s doing her part for the city coffers! I have seen her both in traffic, and lying in wait at various places for the unsuspecting.

The highway patrol and local cops sit by the old land fill at all times of the day or night. Carol road is one of their most profitable locations I believe. I live in area and see cars pulled over constantly.
