Shamrock, Oklahoma Speed Traps
Approaching Town from either direction. SH16
The speed limit reduction signs are small for a state highway and easily missed. There were 6 others fined the same day I was and they all had fines for 53 in a 35. You cannot see the traffic cops from the highway approaching town until they fall in behind you lit up.

Highway 16 5 miles south of 99/33 junction Drumright
Speed limits go from 65 to 55, 45, 35. They get you when you hit the 55 sign because it is in a country setting and most people assume it is 65 mph. The thing I have noticed is they have people stopped outside their city limits and the officers do not pull off the road, therefore, causing a hazard for the motorists passing by.
Hwy 16 between Drumright and Bristow
The town is in a valley. The city limits are at the crest of each hill. The speed limit changes from 65 to 30 at the crest of the hill. When a driver goes over the hill, even with brakes the officer with a radar gun will catch you before you can slow down… and the hill makes the car want to coast much faster than the speed limit.
