Lincolnton, North Carolina Speed Traps

State Trooper, both marked and unmarked white vechicle sit in parking lot and watch for seatbelt, no tag, and speeders, red light runners. Sherrif and local city cops also use this spot.

State Troopers routinely sit at the tanning salon in front of Bilo/Ace Hardware. Coming from Lincolnton they are on the right, the speed limit is 35. Heading into Lincolnton the limit changes from 45 to 35 just before getting here.

They have also been sitting on 27 where Hwy 182 breaks off. This entire area spans about 1/4 mile.

Approaching Car Farm Rd, the trooper sits off to side of road. Speed limit goes from 45 to 35 mph and the sign is easily missed because of trees. The trooper pulls off the side of road and you cannot see him or the sign until you are well within the 35 mph zone.

The speed limit has recently been dropped to 35 MPH from the intersection with HWY 27 to just past Hilltop Superette. Both state troopers and deputies often sit near Hilltop Superette, sometimes stopping multiple cars at once.

The troopers and Lincolnton police cars like to hide in the bushes under the legs of the bridge and wait for speeders to come by.

Also, in Lincolnton do not think that just because it is a sheriffs car that they will not pull you over. My wife used to think the same thing and she also received a speeding ticket. A police officer is a police officer even if he’s a sheriff, a deputy, a state trooper or county officer.

Be careful my friends they are getting very sneaky.
