231 Doesn't go through Marianna, it goes W. of Marianna. However, there are several speed traps in the small towns W. of Marianna on 231 to catch the people going to and from Panama and it is true that the speed goes down so fast you can't get off of cruise fast enough.

The speed trap referred to here is found at Cottondale FL. just west of Marianna on Highway 231 and his been a speed trap for at least 15 years as I have traveled that road since then and every time, the radar is set up there.

Correction. and has been a speed trap etc.

Highway 231 is differently a speed trap, I was pulled over by Officer R. Cowan from the Jackson Country Sheriff department for driving 55 in a 45 miles zone on highway 231 coming from Panama City right before Highway 2. He said that he clocked me driving 55 but he looked at his camera and it looked I was driving over 55 so he have gave me a traffic ticket and wrote on it that I was driving 64 miles. Can anyone believe this? I told him the speed limit dropped from 55 to 45 about 300 feet away and he was very polite and told me yes, but you were speeding so he wrote me the ticket. The city makes money out of these tickets since there are not too many businesses over there. Avoid driving through Jackson county by any means unless you have to pass by it, it is a warning to all fellow drivers when they pass through Jackson County, there are more Sheriffs cars than cars driving by. Good Luck
