Richmond Hill, Georgia Speed Traps

After crossing Hwy 144, onto Hwy 17 the posted speed limit is 35 mph. However, the sign is hard to see and only 300′ up the street is a sign for 45 mph (speed increases right before an intersection). The troopers sit at the intersection behind the 45 mph sign and shoot radar into the oncomming trafic. There is no need for the 35 mph other than as a speed trap.

The Officers park in the Upper Crust parking lot and shoot down HWY 17. The speed limit changes from 55 to 45 about 1/4 mile out of town, with no obvious landmarks. Courts are Filled with speeders from that trap.

Officers hide behind the "Welcome to Richmond Hill" sign and run radar, completely obstructed from the view of oncoming traffic.

Although it is considered "entrapment" the police in this town love to hide way-off the road. Especially when its dark.

Richmond Hill City Police sit on both Interstate 95 and US 17. They are in plain sight usually on the medians of both roads, often as soon as you enter the City Limits. Slow down when you pass through, I know many people who have recieved tickets usually costing around $100.00
