Asheboro, North Carolina Speed Traps
Presnell Street near Gold Hill Road
Cops wait in patrol or unmarked cars at base of Gold Hill Road (speed limit 55 mph) or to the side of Presnell Street (where speed limit is 35 mph then, as you head west, drops to 25 mph at a steep downhill slope that enters into a residential area). You have to ride your brake to keep your car from naturally accelerating and hope cars behind you (who don’t know about the hill or upcoming speed change yet) do the same.
NC 49/US 64 from Randolph County thru Chatham County
Not really one particular trap, but both of these highways are crawling with HP and other police. Don’t speed at all on these highways!
West Hwy 64 just outside the city limits of Asheboro
West 64 between Hwy 49 and Westside F.D. (in front of Clothes Wearhouse) Speed zone is 45mph.
State Highway 49 near Matlab/Klaussner
Officer sits at the endo of the 4 lane in the median waiting on south bound violaters. You can’t see him because of the bushes until it’s too late. He also sits there at night.
Pressnell Street near Interstate between White Oak st and hwy 73
Speed limit stays 35 even after you leave the congestion. Understandable as it returns to compact residential across the Hwy, and raising the limit for the 1/2 to 3/4 mile is impracticable. Cops take advantage of peoples natural instint to speed up along there though.
