Old Hwy 50 – E. Washington St.

Minneola, FloridaFeb 28, 20101 Comments

From U.S. Hwy. 27 and heading east on Old Highway 50, about a 1/4 mile on the left is a big parking lot where Lake County Sheriff hang out, especially when it’s dark, with their lights out. Speed limit is 30 mph. Locals drive 35 to 40 mph down that strip as they want the big ticket makers who are doing 45+mph. Also where E. Washington St. goes left and Old Hwy 50 continues east is a Industrial park driveway where a patrol car sits during the night. Speed limit goes from 45 mph to 30 mph near the little church on the left, slow down before you reach that church as sometimes they are parked in the shade of the church trees too.
At 6 a.m. you’ll see about 3 – 5 patrol cars at the Cafe at U.S. Hwy. 27 and Washington St. where they are having breakfast.

Comments:
The Minneola speed traps are more then speed traps they are the deliberate attempt by a City in financial difficulties trying raise revenue. They are not related to safety in way since these 2 locations have very few accidents. A resonable speed would be 45 miles per hour. It appears to be contest as to which officer can issue the most tickets in a day, week or month.
