Exiting 1604 onto Kitty Hawk. There is a school zone sign immediately after you merge onto Kitty Hawk. The problem is that the sign is hidden by a tree until you’re actually on Kitty Hawk and then you are immediately forced to merge to the left (and look over your left shoulder). It’s nearly impossible to see the school zone sign in the 2-3 second you have to see it before merging with the traffic on the left. The very first time I went through that area during the school-zone time, I was written up. It infuriates me because I NEVER speed in Texas.

I called the Court and they told me that the same argument to fight this trap had been used before, but had not been successful. “We’re not responsible for the placement of the signs. That’s TxDOT.”

There is another “Trap” listed on this site for the same area, but it’s really just a complaint about getting pulled over for going 6 over. This is the real trap.
