State Highway 36 near Carroll Creek Road

Johnson City, TennesseeJun 08, 20071 Comments

This is a 4 lane highway with a center turn lane. The speed limit is 30 mph. There is always a state trooper at the bottom of a long slope. You have to ride your brake constantly to keep your speed down. He always has a car pulled over. Traffic isn’t very heavy for the type road. It is almost impossible to keep your car under 30mph. The entire city of Johnson City, TN is a speed trap. For example,the city annexed a 10 Fort strip along interstates that run into other cities & counties just so they could write tickets. Unbelievable, I know, but just look at a city limit map of this town & you’ll see what I mean.

This is most assuredly NOT a speed trap. The speed limit on North Roan / Kingsport Highway / SR36 everywhere between Oakland Avenue and Boone's Creek Road is 45 mph, including the ridge that ends at the Carroll Creek Road intersection, except in school zones when flashers are on. I don't know where this person came up with a 30 mph limit. There are virtually never any state troopers or local cops in this stretch of road. I drive it 4-5 times every day at various hours and speak from experience.
