I got my first and only traffic ticket here. I don’t make a practice of speeding. I had never been pulled over in 20+ years of driving.

This area involves a steep hill. Obviously your car will gain a few mph going down a hill. I was so shocked to be stopped that I didn’t remember to verify my speedometer. I was told I was going 48 in a 35 zone. Original ticket cost $312. Reduced to $112 plus cost (and time!) of driving course.

My husband has also gotten a ticket in Carrollton for something to do with a lane change. It wasn’t even related to speeding.

The city of Carrollton has a reputation in our area of raising money through seemingly frivolous traffic tickets. I avoid the city as much as possible.
