As you are driving through Kerens, TX on highway 31 north toward Athens the town has an extended 45 mph zone after the last stop signal. The habitations and business on the sides of the highway give way to more open land giving the illusion you are out of town. One naturally assumes that it is time to return to highway speeds. The police will sit at the 60 mph sign that appears to be well out of town. It is then that you realize you are already going 60 mph but are still in the unnaturally extended 45 mph zone. The police officer will pull you over, probably about next to the 70 mph sign and politely write you a ticket for over $200. Your clean record or possession of a CHL will buy you no mercy. This is a well thought out speed trap that the city has placed to increase their revenue. As for my part I will do my best to never spend a nickel in any business near Kerens, TX. Be careful.
