State Highway 1
The City police of this small delta town will sit just inside of the city limits and aim the radar up the highway and clock you before you get to the city limits. They will then follow you into the middle of town and write you ticket for speding.
They police clock you with radar before you get to the sign telling you about a lower speed limit.
SLOW DOWN way before you get to to the sign about reduced speed limits.

I moved to Greenville about 30 years ago, one of the very first things my coworkers told me was when going up Hwy 1 DON'T SPEED IN ROSEDALE. Slow down early, the n/b road makes a series of bends coming in to town and the limit goes 55-45-35 in just a few hundred feet. A jerk city cop stopped me at 4AM some years ago, had his lights on before I even got up to him, first words out of his mouth were a snarled "Gimme your license!" (word for word quote). Told me he clocked me coming around that last bend at 45 in a 35, when I pointed out that last bend was a 45 zone and, oh yes, still OUTSIDE the city limits, he barked "We can just go downtown and discuss it at the station if that's what you want." Gave me a ticket and confiscated my license, said they can do that for out of state drivers. Greenville, MS is out of state from Rosedale, MS???? I had to miss half a day of work to go to court, the jerk didn't bother to show up! Judge asked "Where is he?", Clerk replied "Oh Jedge, he be at his real job." (again a quote). Needless to say, ticket dismissed although he did warn me he didn't want to see me in his court again. I told him it wasn't my doing that I was there in the first place and thank heaven he laughed.
Moral of the story: Going through Rosedale? Watch your butt!
