Before Lee County Hwy 77 is a two lane Hwy with posted daytime speed limts of 70. On entering Lee County the Hwy turns into a four lane HWY, logic would be that the speed limit would not change, but not here a single small speed limit sign of 65is posted about a quarter of mile after entering the four lanes and Lee County.
On both ends of of Hwy 77 going into Lee County the signs are obscured by low hanging tree branches, tall grass, and/or constructed an unsual distance from the roadway.
There are no other 65 posted signs until after the first cities along the hwy. There is a no tolerance policy for any speeding. Tickets are issued for as low as 3 miles over the speed limit. Also, the county has a policy of a couple of hundred dollars court charge for anyone that desires to dispute the ticket in court.
In addition on entering Giddings traveling North the posted speed limit goes to 55, 45, 35 in less than a mile. One must brake to avoid speeding. Traveling out of Giddings it is a rather long period of time and road before the road changes up to 55 and back to 65. The posting of signs are not much better when approaching Lexington.
