Speed reduces four times in very short distance. Signs are very difficult to see from left lane. You will be stopped after you are out of the speed zone you are ticketed for. On Monday November 30, 2015 I was ticketed for going 50 in a 40. I never saw the 40 mph sign. When I questioned the young man who said he had clocked by speed, he said it had occurred four miles back. I am sitting on the side of Hwy 69 within spitting distance of a 70 mph sign. I had been driving in the left lane to pass several trucks in the right lane. I pulled in front of the patrol car and had gone only about 50 yards when he turned on his lights. I asked him how he had clocked me if he was ahead of me. He would not answer the question. The ticket says I owe the city of Kiowa $135.00. I live in Deleon, Texas and have never driven through Kiowa before and I would drive 100 mile out of the way to never go though there again. Population is well under 700, but the 2014 audited city’s financial’s say fine revenue exceeds $875K. They have a police force of six as well a a K-9 unit. This is a trap of the worst sort.
