We came in on the north side of Fredonia, on the way TO the Grand Canyon. In all honesty, there was a warning sign that the speed limit was 35mph ahead. So I let off the gas and then, boom, there it was, 35mph. And I was still over 45. No, I didn't get pulled over. I hit the brake and got it down to 35, hoping that I hadn't been nailed. And I hadn't. Made it all the way through Fredonia and stopped at a gas station at the south end of town. Gassed up, made a pit stop, bought supplies, and then (after waiting on a couple cars blocking the way out) I got back on the highway. Nice clean stretch, town behind me, so I started getting back up to highway speed. OOPS! There's the sign, STILL 35 mph. I hit the brake and slowed back down. Finally, there's the sign for 55. Got up to speed, and then I noticed the flashing red lights behind me. Yep, he clocked me after I left the gas station, 46 in a 35 zone. I gotta admit, he was polite and civil. And so was I. Because of that, I believe, he only cited me for 40 in a 35 zone, so my fine was $55, not $99. I mean, I WAS speeding. I just think extending a 35mph limit to two miles outside of town on an open US highway is nothing more than a revenue generator, especially since my last speeding ticket was 18 years ago. Considering that the previous post was in 2003, and now it's 2010, yeah, this is definitely a speed trap since most tourists have to pass through Fredonia to get to the North Rim.
