I-49 Exit 25

Washington, LouisianaApr 04, 20100 Comments

The officers (3 in the department) sit on the federally funded highway and write traffic tickets to speeders or as little as 3mph over the speed limit. 8mph over got me a ticket for $165.00. If you choose the fight the ticket note who the judge is..the Mayor of Washington. Like the mayor is going to give up income for the city. Population 1300 < yet it is estimated they bring in over $350,000.00 a year in traffic fines. Now I go 5mph above the minimum speed limit and I wave at the officer as I go past.

City police officers park on the shoulder behind an overpass and zap interstate travelers. It is well known that the City of Washington in St. Landry Parish generates over $300K/year using this tactic of issueing city tickets on a state Interstate.

Ticketed-165.00 Same as everyone else 77 in 70, I-49 North at Exit 25. At same time I saw him, he waved me over, my first speeding ticket in over 22 years. Now I go around the Town of Washington, Do not stop or spend money in the Town of Washington.

Look out as you approach the overpass on IH49 near exit 25. Slow down to 70 MPH as you will get ticketed for going over 3MPH. Better yet slow down at exit 26.

Washington City cop sits ontop of overpass on I49 which is a blind hill and clocks traffic, usually in the northbound lane. Best I can tell he uses a hand held genisis unit that is old but does the trick. It is K band and he is a Vulture. I pass thru there every other day and he always has vehicles stopped. He likes to play like he is DOTD also for you truckers.
