Speed limit is 45mph along about 1mile of highway. Four lane highway, northbound, merges into 2 lane highway with right lane turning into a turn lane. “Merge Now” sign is about 50 feet before lane ends. Chief of Police is 1 of 2 fulltime officers and will fabricate actual speed you are driving. He will also issue citation for “Improper use of lane” because you were driving in the right lane, which is not a violation of any traffic law. Also to note: Their traffic court is a joke. The police chief sits behind the podium only 2 feet from the judge and passes notes back and forth with judge during court. The 2015 financial report for Talala shows that approximately 73% of the town’s revenue is from traffic citations at approximately $150,000. All other revenue for this city is a little over $90,000. There is nothing fair and impartial about this town.
