Right on U.S. Highway 50 going West
As you come down what is known as Austin Summit, the road curves around and down and then straightens out as it heads into town. Just before the road starts to straighten out, there is a junkyard on the right side (i.e. the south side) of the road. The owner of the junkyard was even kind enough to post a sign that says “Speed Trap Ahead.” And that is no exaggeration, since there is always a highway patrol officer sitting right there in his truck, usually in the shade which makes him hard to spot. On the day I was there, not only was I pulled over but so were about five other people. Something else to know: the officer who usually runs that speed trap is not very nice, shall we say. He is very brusque and almost hostile at times. Many of the townspeople know this and have no use for his attitude – just ask around town. So be sure and slow down to exactly what the sign says and you’ll be fine. Please tell all your friends about this officer and this speed trap.
