West end of town, before you even see any houses. You are warned to slow to 40 mph so many feet ahead. Then the limit is quickly lowered to 30. Since you are going downhill when headed East your car won’t slow to 30 without some heavy braking. It cost me $94 to learn that all towns in that area are cashing in on tourists. You can’t appear in court because you’re out of state. You are obliged to send money to City Hall and they can spend as they wish.

This is not correct. You are warned 750-1000 feet ahead of time that the speed limit is lowered to 30 mph heading east or west. There is a greater chance that an out of town/state driver will get picked up because they do not know the area as well as people who do reside in the area. That being said, many people from surrounding areas get picked up in Byron all of the time, and they won't stop complaining about it. Take your time and use your brakes if you have to, there is a possibility that there could be a family or children using the crosswalk, don't take the chance of hitting a pedestrian! P.S. the speed limit is the law no matter where you are.

Sorry but this is wrong. The State of Wyoming, the state law makers, sets the speed limit through these towns as the highway is a state owned and maintained by the state. There is plenty of warning to slow to the speed limit before you even enter the town limits. Byron is about 1.5 miles long and there are at least 3 30 mph speed signs throughout town. There is always plenty of warning telling you to slow ahead. Sorry, if you can't pay attention and read the signs, don't drive! Maybe I will come drive 10+ mph over the speed limit in your neighborhood and see if you see things differently.
