Entering Vaughan on Highway 200
Upon entering Vaughn on hwy 200 just outside of Great Falls the speed limit changes from 75 to 55 abruptly and then down to 45. I had my cruise set at 70 and abruptly took it off and was literally riding the brakes to try to get down to 55. I got pulled over and given a speeding ticket. Same cop sitting there on the trip back with someone pulled over. Quite a racket for collecting money. Also if you want to contest it you have to appear in Great Falls Justice Court so if you live out of town like I do you’re screwed. What a racket.

I got caught in the exact same trap at the Vaughn Junction with Hwy. 200. This is my first speeding ticket ever....and I am a grandma who almost never passes anyone on the road. This is a relatively new 4 lane section of highway that merges onto a four lane intestate. I was on cruise control from Highway 200 and never saw the sign to slow to 45 mph. The area of the "town" of Vaughn merges imperceptibly with the surrounding area. I can see the reason for slowing the traffic here and I certainly learned my lesson, but the transition and warning to slow to 45 mph should be much better marked!
