State Highway 36 near State Highway 84

Gatesville, Texas•Oct 15, 2005•2 Comments

The entire City of Gatesville is monitored by the City of Gatesville Police Department so watch out. This city is well known for writting tickets ranging from 8 miles over the posted speed limit and up. It is department policy to write tickets to help the funding of new equiptment. This policy was enacted by the newly appointed chief of police and his new sergeant and Lt. Gatesville is also known for tacking on a few miles to bump up thier ticket fines. The good officers left the department approximately 1.5 years ago and have been replaced rouge cops whom punish the community with collateral fines

Yes this is a speed trap. They sit on FM116 with their lights off and get speeders from Hwy84 to the end of the city limits. The problem is I live just the other side of the city limits and they don't stop the speeders from Copperas Cove and Killeen. They stop the ones from here that are only going 3-5 miles over.

I say the speed limit signs are there, read them, drive them, you won't get ticketed. I've lived here for 35yrs and I've had one ticket and I admit I was speeding. I use cruise control unless it's raining.
