On US19 jus as you enter Pelham City limits
Officer sits in patrol car hidden from view just as you enter city limits….speed limit on US19 is 65 mph but rapidly drops to 55 mph then down to 45 mph. When you see the posted speed limit drop and begin to reduce your speed you are already in range of the officers radar gun and unless you brake hard you will be clocked exceeding the speed limit….the officer said he clocked me at 61 in a 45 mph zone…..the semi in front of me was traveling at the same speed as was I…..what upsets me is that he wouldn’t even look at my auto insurance card or my registration….I’m 68 and this is my second ticket….the first one was when I was in my twenties. I want to add that US19 virtually bypasses Pelham’s residential and business districts …..it passes on the outskirts of the city…..the city appears to have annexted that portion of US19 in order to generate income from the traffic citations that they write.
