Dover–the entire town
This town’s income must come from out of state drivers. I actually got a ticket 48 in a 45. My car on cruise at 45 and I was going down one of the steep hills and I was coasting faster than the speed limit. Out of state plates. My friend with Tennesse plates flies by the same cop at 55 in that 45 and just waves and goes on…huh?

Yes it is, I live in the area and go through the town once a month. The city makes it's money from unsuspecting folk. Now that the construction is going on the new highway 79 and even though parts of it are complete and the posted speed limit should be 70 mph it is posted at 45 even on weekends when no one is working. Also the stretch past Dover to Kentucky Lake should be 70 mpg but is posted at 55. Doesn't make sense. Example Highway 22 going to Huntington Tn is not as good a road and is it is posted 65 in most areas. I hope the Tennessee Department of Safety will be fair and post the speed limit at least 70 on the new highway 79 when it is completed. Watch out for those Tennessee Troopers, there is at least 3 working that area all the time. I went through there the weekend of 20 Feb 2011 and saw 2 State Troopers, One City Policeman, and One Sherriff working a 5 mile area. Recommend you avoid Dover, it is a speed trap by definition of the public.
