Athens is a college town which houses University of Georgia. Basically any time there are going to be a lot of students coming back to athens (such as sunday afternoon/night or after a holiday) they have cops up there hidden in hard to see locations. The part which most obviously identifies this as a deliberate speed trap is the fact that the speed limit on HWY 316 is 65 everywhere except that it drops to 55 for a small stretch just before the turnoff that all UGA students would be taking. There is no change in road conditions that would merit such a speed limit change, in fact this stretch only has inlets with somewhat controlled access (entrance lanes) and there aren’t many of those either. The rest of 316 has uncontrolled inlets all over the place and still a 65 mph limit. There are various locations where the cops give tickets that are really tricky such as when people come over a hill only a short while after the speed limit has changed.
