Bladenboro, North Carolina Speed Traps

Going north out of Bladenboro, the city speed limit changes from 20 mph to 35 mph as you leave the downtown. There is a brief period in which it appears that you can accelerate to 35 mph or more but actually you are still in the 20 mph zone. The policeman hides in a curve where he can record your speed as you begin to accelerate, but you cannot readily observe him in a white car sitting on the shoulder, facing you, in an area of homes, businesses, mailboxes, etc. This is a popular tourist shortcut to and from Myrtle Beach, SC.
