State Highway 301 near North end of the town of Colemen, FL

Coleman, FloridaApr 21, 20051 Comments

Coleman is another of the samll rural towns along 301 north of Tampa using speed traps as revenue enhancements. The speed limit is generally 55 but decreases to 45, then 35 in the space of about .25 mile. The officer sits in a parking lot on the north bound side just after the 35 MPH marker to catch motorists just as they come over a slight rise in the southbound lane. Suggestion – when travelling north/south in central FL, consider using I-75, thereby avoiding the small towns along 30l including the infamous Lawtry and, now, Coleman that treat unsuspecting travelers as an alternative to local taxation.

Comments:
Do NOT go even 1 mile per hr. over the speed limit, you will get a ticket. This town is BAD.
