State Highway 288 near Oyster Creek Street

Lake Jackson, TexasDec 14, 20051 Comments

A 50 MPH Zone between Oyster Creek Rd on the South to a point approx 1000 feet north of FM 2004. This stretch is interstate quality highway through a wooded area, well past the last light, (traveling north) at ‘This Way’ street and is just before the 65 mph speed limit begins. There are no cross streets or driveways. The posted speed limit is 50 mph even though Lake Jackson city ordinance, (in compliance with state law) set the speed limit there as 55 mph. (Chap 98, 86.1 (4)) The local police and the municipal court there illegally enforce the 50 mph sign. There is no reason for the reduced speed except to trap more motorists and to enhance the amount of the ticket fines.

Comments:
If I understand the description correctly . that's all 60 mph now. And I think rightly so. It increases to 65 after you get past all the merging traffic from 2004.
