County Trunk 174 near Murphree Valley Road

Springville, AlabamaOct 26, 20061 Comments

Any time going from Straight Mountain to Springville, down Murphree Valley Road, the City Police will be backed off the road in the small dirt "log roads" and trees. Sometimes it will be cars, other times motor cycles. I was going on this road, following a truck. I was pulled over for speeding. When ask why the truck was not stopped, I was told that I was behind the truck, therefore I was the one speeding. I answered that if I was behind, he had to be speeding if I was or I would run over him. The officer thought this very funny and stated that the truck was not speeding, but he only gave me a warning. Almost every morning going to work, cars will be pulled over to the side. The speed limit is 35 and they mean 35. This is about 3 miles before getting into the populated area.

As of February, 2011, this is still a speed trap location. Springville tagged my brother last week between Homestead Hollow and the base of the mountain, going 4 mph over the posted 30 mph speed limit (a ridiculously low speed limit for that road).
