When driving from Tyler (U.S. 64) to Overton you may travel 70mph until the Rt. 135 bridge. As you take the ramp and get onto Rt. 135 the speed limit changes to 55mph but the sign is almost a half-mile from the ramp. Be careful to not resume speed too quickly as Rt. 135 is every bit as good a road as U.S. 64 at this point. The cops often sit like little trolls under a bridge waiting for unsuspecting travelers. They apparently need the money to pay for their brand new patrol cars which, since Arp is such a small town, probably cannot be covered by local taxes. If you get a ticket don’t even bother to fight it since the judge will hear no kind of explanation or give any kind of mercy. He apparently reserves his "judgments" for his fashionable wardrobe which looks like he just got back from a night at the Reo Palm Isle. I couldn’t really tell from my vantage point on the "other" side of the "court" but he probably had zip-up boots and likely drives an El Camino. Actually, the best strategy to avoid a ticket in this town is to avoid it altogether since there is really nothing there worth seeing anyway.
