State Highway 31A North near US Highway 31

Pulaski, TennesseeApr 08, 20081 Comments

Highway 31A intersects with Highway 64 on the north end of Pulaski. 31A is posted at 55 then drops to 45 with regular speed limit signs then it drops to 30MPH on a down hill grade coming into Hwy. 64, this limit is posted only with the hill grade and no other posting of a speed change. At the bottom of the hill is a traffic light and across the street in a direct line with the hill is an auto body shop. Almost nightly there is a city police officer sitting there with his radar trained on the hill. 35 mph will get you a ticket and city court will uphold it regardless of your appeal that the speed sign is obscure and difficult to recognize.

Highway 31A does NOT intersect with highway 64. It intersects with Highway 31. The posted speed limit is legal and goes from 55 down to 45 and then to 30 because of the grade of the hill. It does that rather than immediately go from 55 to 30 at the hill. this is a very dangerous hill and you should not be speeding on it. I have seen people run out in the intersection because they were going too fast to stop. This is not a speed trap. It is clearly posted and the cops are in plain sight.
