This is not a speed trap....Prairie City has abolished their police department and are being covered by the county sheriff's office. They are undermanned and speed enforcement doesn't seem to be a big priority. Drive reasonably and they'll leave you alone.

This speed trap has not existed for at least 10 years. The previous comment is correct. If you get a speeding ticket in Prairie City you will have had the unfortunate luck to have been on the street at the same time as the monthly passing of a State Patrolman or a sheriff's deputy. But do watch out for ATV's. The city has an ordinance that permits them on streets in the city as long as they are manned by licenced drivers
