When traveling eastbound on Ranch Rd. 12 from Canyon Lake/Wimberley, the road, as very common in the area, is a 2-lane that curves sharply with many rises and dips throughout the hilly countryside, and despite the limited view and the presence of scattered buildings and driveways/sideroads, the speed limit is consistently 60 MPH. Just a few miles west of San Marcos, that road splits into a brand new divided 4-lane, much smoother and straighter with guardrails and no hint of civilization. If you are depending on a GPS that hasn’t been upgraded, you may miss the speed limit sign while pondering the screen as you watch your intended route drift off to your left and showing you are not on a road at all! Do not depend on intuition though, because although any reasonable driver would perceive the conditions of this road to be 60 or even 65, it’s 55! And that’s where they get you. As you crest a low hill just in time to view a glimpse of the town, they’re waiting, and they stay plenty busy. They will not listen to reason, and they’re very rude. Rest assured, this trap has nothing to do with public safety, but is a convenient and corrupt opportunity for this town to generate revenue. It may as well be a super highway for grannies and farm equipment.
