Hwy 17 in Oliver Ga

Oliver, Georgia•Apr 23, 2012•2 Comments

When heading east on hwy 17 entering Oliver the speedlimit goes from 55 to 45 to 35 in a short distance.There is a caution light and the cops are sitting on the left side of the road. When you get to the 35 mph sign you had better be going 35.There is no rezson for the speed limit to be 35 but to ticket people.My question to the cop was why is it 35mph here.He said the locals sometimes run the red light.If that’s the case I would think if you ticket the people who run the red light you would solve the problem.The real problem is this is the way Oliver pads its budget.

I am so glad that I found this website. And I am LMAO at the number of posts to Oliver's speedtrap. All of the surrounding counties know of this trap and know of Barney Fife sitting in front of the post office. If you are heading west or is it north on Hwy. 17 coming from the Savannah direction, you do see a sign just outside the city limits of Oliver that states in bold lettering that you are about to enter a speed trap. I think it was erected by locals. There is not a redlight but stop signs crossing old highway 17 in the center of Oliver where the crossroads are. There may be a yellow caution light facing both ways of 17 with a red caution light at the stop signs. I'm not sure. But anyway, Barney is always there unless he is home eating. This poor slob puts in many hours taking your money. I have to congratulate him for his tireless efforts. My wife and I have to go through Oliver to get to her sisters in Newington. Believe me, we know to slow down when entering the money pit. To Barney it is probably a honey pot. LOL. This trap should have been on the National Motorist Associations top ten list for speed traps this year and past years too. Ya'll be good out there and say Hi to Barney for me.

Like most smart drivers slow down when wintering any city or residential area.is a wise move. Speed limit 25 to35 mph.
