Butte, Montana Speed Traps

There is a crosswalk at this location, allowing students of Butte High to walk accross the street to their cars. I have seen countless people get pulled over for going anything over 15 mph. The worst time is during lunch hour- 11:30-1:00. Other bad times are before and after school. There is usually an officer parked on the side of the road just waiting.

Sheffiff has purchased 2 cars just for enforcement, and brags they have a quota to write 80-100 tickets a day in this town of 35,000. Tourists avoid Butte at all costs, since speed limits are not well posted and tickets count on your record. Drivers at risk anywhere in town.
