Winder, Georgia Speed Traps
Bankhead Highway from Johns-Manville (Company) to Past Pearl Pentecost Rd.
There are several railroad tracks where you have to slow down or stop at a stop sign at Pearl Pentecost Rd. But if you increase your speed between railroad tracks, where the speed limit is 35, they are hidden somewhere and will stop you. They turn on the siren plus lights and you won’t know if they are going to an emergency or after you until they stop behind you. Several people have been stopped on this road.
State Highway 53 near Sims Road
Cop sits down in a valley just West of Sims Rd. on Hwy 53. Another sits across the road and they tag team who goes after the speeders. It’s an easy place to go over the speed limit. Be careful!
US Highway 316 near Patrick Mill Road
On 316 heading east just past Patrick Mill Road at the bottom of the hill. There is a spot on the right just behind a guard rail. You cannot see them when you are coming down the hill until it is too late. I have seen a Barrow county cop there several times. It almost looks like the spot where they sit was graded for this purpose.
