Republic, Missouri Speed Traps
Fountain and Hadley
This is a 2-way stop and the cops are parked east of Hadley watching that you make a complete stop.
S FR 193, just south of Republic Ford; N of Hines
The speed limit is 30 MPH and city cops will pull into the driveway of the empty house at the top of the hill and run radar. Because of the shrubbery you can’t see these officers until you are right there. Further down the street, where FR 193 is joined by Summit, there is a privacy fence that runs along 193 and hides Summit until you are right at it. A city cop likes to sit back behind the fence with radar.
State Highway 174 near Farm Road 67
Speed limit is 45 mph to the city limits which is a good 1/4 mile from the last house in town. You think you are in the country but Republic bloated their city limits and love to give tickets there.
State Highway P near Kimberly Street
Local city law enforcement has a good revenue here; it is State Highway P entering Republic from the south that quickly becomes ‘South Main Street’. It abruptly drops from highway speed to 45 and immediately to 30 mph.
