Hwy 87 at City Limit

Eden, TexasNov 10, 20103 Comments

City Police sit within about 300 feet away from the speed limit reduction from 70 to 55 MPH. I came in with my cruise control on, didn’t kick it off in time, got my first ever in 35 years of driving speeding ticket. 69 in a 55. They have it down to a fine science. No warnings, no sympanthy. Just money for the city coffers. I think there ought to be a law against a speeding ticket within 100 yds of a change in speed limit. I’ve no use for a jurisdiction that operates that way. Shame on them.

Well, then, perhaps they should put on more of those signs, eh?

I drive through there twice a day at least. There is a Reduced Speed Limit sign and TWO 55mph signs before you get to the area where the city and county officers run stationary radar. You have exactly 1/2 a mile to slow down. I suggest you pay more attention when you are driving.
