This whole little stretch is a speed trap. Speed limits change from 55, to 45. to 40, without rhyme or reason. This is a town which is little more than a restaurant, a snotty prep school, and collection of antique stores- thats about it- but they have to pay their police dept.- the way they accomplish this is by harrassing motorist traveling through. Even the slightest infraction gets you pulled over – and possibly your car impounded (I wonder what the relationship is with the local towing company). Anyway – the main target is tourists (gotta get that out of state money coming in) by selling crappy antiques or writing tickets – here they prefer both. I will never do business with any merchant in this hovel of a town. The police here have nothing else to do. They exist to write tickets. But when they get board they do occasionally see who has the fastest car by racing to Clayton and back.
