Popular Street camera, Bluff City, TN.
We were lost and looking at signs for streets and towns on the way to a pharmacist location for medicine, not the all at once in your face 10mph speed drop. The speed limit was 55mph, but somewhere within a one mile space we were all at once in a 45 mph speed zone. We did not see it nor know it until we got a ticket a few weeks later. I was driving a borrowed truck and the owner got the ticket. Now I learn that this place in known by KY. VA, and even locals when I mention it, as a place to avoid due to this crap. If there is a sign there, one would have to be looking a mile ahead with great vision on the side in the lane by the sign to ever see it. It is so famous, or infamous, that it is one of the web pages that pulls up when you hit Bluff City, TN. on the computer. It must be a great revenue for the town when it shows before hotels and tourist attractions, if there is any? I was told by a local they even went the back road home in case someone was in a hurry to get to Kentucky Fried Chicken (ironic, go to KY. Fried Chicken get a chicken crap ticket in TN.) or Hardee’s, which is about all that is near the trap. By sneak stealing this $50 dollar ticket or more, even if it is 2 miles over the limit, they lost all of any of my relatives and friends in Piney Flats that spends a dollar in the town. It is sad and greedy when a town is known best for it’s speed trap. Avoid the whole road around and through it would be best, then take your money on down the road and go to a restaurant not on the Speed Trap HWY.
