I-20 Crawfordville GA Hwy 278 area -Taliferro Cty
I have been traveling this interstate for 10+ years. We have always noticed that the few miles of I-20 that pass thru this poor rual county ALWAYS has local county Sheriff cars parked on the overpass or hidden halfway up the entrance ramp – unless they are already parked on the side of the road writing out a ticket. I know several people who have been ticketed for going 87 and 89 on I-20 which has a speed limit of 70. Mosy all other counties don’t bother unless you are exceeding 90MPH. You can be sure that Taliferro will write you a ticket – do not expect a warning or any mercy. The demographics of this county show Crawfordville has a population of 575 people and the city limits are 3 square miles. This county probably funds its entire budget by writing tickets on I-20. If you go to traffic court at the Taliferro Courthouse – you will see that there is no where to get a cup of coffee – the entire downtown is shut down and store fronts are abandonded. It is so quiet – it is eerie. The traffic court Judge is surprisingly very personable and friendly – and reasonable if you don’t have a poor driving record. Overall – the speedtrap and mission statement of this area are very easy to see if you travel this area regularly.
