US Highway 93
Just as you enter both ends of town, the speed limit drops to 45MPH from 65. This is not unreasonable, but because the limits are in effect about a mile before there are any buildings, it is a prime place for these reservations cops to sit and wait to pull you over for anything above 3MPH. Heading north-bound, the limit takes effect at the Ford dealership, heading south-bound, just before the furniture store, Total Home.
Highway 93, north end of town, directly at the speed reduction posting
Officer was sitting directly at the sign posting speed limit reduction with radar on and fined offender $70 (bond that required immediate payment or jail because offender lived outside of county).
