Highway 55, east of Old Carolina Road, near US Post office

Today I was going east on highway 55, east of Old Carolina Road, going around 25 mph. The speed limit was 25 there, and around the post office it becomes 35.

As I approached the 35 mph speed sign, I naturally started to speed up. Literally two seconds from the sign a cop, going the opposite direction, U-turned and nailed me with a ticket, claiming I was speeding in a 25 zone. I was going 30-35 mph right in front of the 35 mph speed limit sign.

The cop explained to me that the speed limit doesn’t change until you pass the sign. I agree with that on principle, but nailing someone when you’re literally two seconds from passing the sign is just plain stupid.

This is asinine.
