Main strip from I-40 E exit 72 through town.

Old Fort, North CarolinaAug 09, 20022 Comments

This town is really trying to keep its "quiet, ole town" feel so don’t fool around! The speed limit is rediculously low–25–and they enforce it with a vengeance. I used to work 2nd shift at Ethan Allen and at 3:30 in the morning, with absolutely nobody on the road, I was pulled over for doing 35. Also, from Exit 72 into town the cops like to pull off on the side of the road–speed limit drops from 55 to 45 to 25 within 3/4 of a mile.

This is definitely the worst area to travel if you don't have to! Traveler's Advisory for Old Fort, the whole town is a speed trap, their reputation is in neighboring towns. Speed limits are pathetic, it's not like people are walking up and down the streets 24/7!

Agreed. Travelers should avoid/boycott Old Fort until/unless they cease their predatory traffic enforcement.
