Hwy 22 southbound exiting Clarksburg TN

Clarksburg, TennesseeJan 25, 20122 Comments

Entering Clarksburg TN southbound on Hwy 22 the speed limit rapidly drops from 65 to 40 requiring a quick reaction to avoid a ticket. But the real rub is after putting through this tiny town of little traffic at the 40 mph limit when you pass the last signs of a town and nothing is around you and you are within sight of the 55 mph speed limit sign, DO NOT SPEED UP. While I have never seen this technicality enforced anywhere in my 50 years, the local revenue enhancers (police) of Clarksburg will ticket you for accelerating before you have physically passed the 55 mph speed limit sign. Remain at 40 mph and do not contribute to this towns revenue. I also urge you not to contribute to their revenue by stopping at their one convenience store or BBQ joint. Old figures show they get well over $100,000 a year from speeding fines and driving schools and for a town of 400 people this is absurd. Without a doubt these guys will write tickets for anything they can. make a dollar on. Watch out!!!

If you plan your trip you can bypass this town and the others that are making a small fortune off of the people traveling thru.

Clarksburg is such a small town that it virtually disappeared from the map when TDOT widened highway 22 from two lanes to five! But make no mistake, it is still there.
