State Highway 1

Golden Meadow, LouisianaMay 18, 20092 Comments

Entire stretch thorough Golden Meadow is speed trap preying on offshore workers.
Tickets for 1 mile over or under posted speeds are common.
Posted speeds are erratic and poorly marked.
Main source of revenue for municipality.

Comments:
In 2009 LA passed a law that says if any ticket is issued for 1 to 9 MPH over the posted limit, the state gets the fine. This eliminates small towns getting rich on just a couple of miles over the posted limit.

Totally poorly marked. That's how that town gets its revenue. And what do they use it on? The fines are completely outrageous, they take away your entire weekly salary. Shame on you Golden Meadow, you should change your name to Bloody Meadow.
