Sellers, South Carolina Speed Traps

Town is a crossroads but has a police officer and major income is ticketing unsuspecting motorists.

Small town on major two lane highway. Policeman sits in car at city hall as though parked in the city hall parking lot and at a local corner store. There is a large margin on both sides of the road, 15+ feet, to allow practically any kind of foot or bicycle traffic. The speed zone is less than a mile long. There is almost no margin for error for speedometer or other driver or vehicle issues given by the policeman. The speed limit is 45. 47 will get you a ticket every time.

Trap is located about 10 miles south of Dillon, manned by a local constable in a light colored older Ford Taurus. The speed limit drops abruptly from 55 to 45 in a totally unrealistic spot– no change in highway conditions. Signage was not easily observable, if it was even there. Highway has a deep ditch on the right, woods on the left, so watch for any location where a car might park to function as a speed trap. For 63 mph the fine was $183.

Any speed 0ver the posted limit will get you a ticket.Usually 45 mph.Most victoms are beach bound tourist.

This speed trap goes from 55 to 45 miles per hour and back up to 55 miles per hour in an 1/4 mile stretch. The town police hide behind signs and at the one store that is in this town. I have heard of cases people have been pulled for less than 5 miles over the speed limit. I have traveled this road for 25 years Monday – Friday and 4 out of 5 days they have someone pulled.
