Five Forks Trickum Road between Johnson Road and Gwinnett Dr

Lawrenceville, GeorgiaDec 05, 20100 Comments

When driving toward Lawrenceville on Five Forks Trickum, after crossing Sugarloaf Parkway, a speed limit sign says 45mph. Another sign is posted of 45mph around Johnson Road. As you continue on Five Forks Trickum past Johnson Road, there is a downhill section with a 35mph sign post. Since the speed limit is 45mph until you start braking and notice the posted 35 mph sign going down the grade, you cannot slow down that quickly. One should be allowed to slow down when the 35mph sign is seen as you go down the hill. Two Lawrenceville City Police Motorcycles are parked in a driveway on the right with radar guns pointed toward the top of the hill and naturally entrap cars in the process of slowing down. I feel that it is immoral and a fee grabbing situation that should be corrected. The Lawrenceville City Limits sign is posted within the first 300 ft after crossing Sugarloaf heading east toward the Justice Center with the 45 mph post in full view. Because of retail stores and more dense population with a two lane street, the city of Lawrenceville should change the two signs to 35mph posted signs from 45mph signs. I am assured that they will not do this since this area is an excellent fee grabbing speed trap. They are especially noticeable before Thanksgiving and Christmas Holidays as if they are trying to make a bonus. As known, the Lawrenceville city cops are rude. The city is also trying to pay for the new City Hall and the very large new Police Station. It is such a shame that this happens and is a black mark on this small city, the County seat. Also has anyone tried to call in to complain or offer suggestions? You cannot reach anyone with their telephone setup. Only one number is listed and you cannot reach a human. As you attempt the call you wind up dead ended. Not a very good sign of a representative government or democracy.
