Estelline, Texas

Well, yes, Estelline is a speed trap, but it’s one of the more honest speed traps. At least the signs are big and they don’t play any games… straight forward "You were speeding, here’s your ticket." As for the benefit of the doubt, those tractors crossing the road move real slowly and a "kid" headed back to Dallas from Denver is usually pushing eighty when he hits the Red River. At least there’s a bit of a real safety issue here though, so I guess you can’t blame them for popping a few "high-flyers." Still, the step-down speed limit signs do seem a little unreasonable. I noticed a recent newspaper report that says Estelline is one of the top Texas Speed Traps in producing ticket revenue. No shortage of customers. Bottom line; Estelline has a least a few true safety concerns, but they still manipulate the speed limits in order to generate revenue… and that’s wrong.

This is most definitely a speed trap. When you see that speed limit sign, you better be sitting on your brakes to get down from 70 to 50 and then to 40 as quick as you can. It's about the only way this town has any income because there is virtually no other businesses there.
