Hwy 72 onto Brady or Shaw Rds merging to Co Rd 24/Ripley Rd

When you turn onto either Brady or Shaw Rd from Highway 72, the speed limit drops from 65 miles per hour to 45 miles per hour without ANY notification. I drove from Shaw road into Ripley for SEVEN MILES without seeing a SINGLE speed limit sign. When I did encounter one, it was just a quarter mile short of Zehner road, a cop was parked next to it and wrongfully gave me a ticket after nearly running me off the road in order to pull me over.

Stay away from the country back roads, even if your cruise control works perfectly, the cops have no problem nailing you for 60 when you’re doing 50 in what would normally be a 55. (Apparently Limestone County’s County roads are all 45 instead of the normal 55.)
