Known as "the ditch" this area has a completely unrealistic speed limit of 25 mph on a state highway leading into the town. There is a hill on both sides of a bridge crossing a stream, the one to the south being the steepest. Trying to do 25 mph is dangerous; it’s too slow to be safe on the hills with traffic behind you. You’ll get run down. Plus, it’s a perfect speed trap with a waterworks parking lot at the bottom of the hill for the local law enforcement to sit in. Don’t get me wrong–our local cops are the greatest, but this little speedtrap pushes the edges of common sense and reason a bit far.
