State Highway 49 near elm Street

Auburn, CaliforniaAug 01, 20071 Comments

Trap zone is before Elm as 49 approaches I-80; 35 is posted (and heavily advertized w/electric trailer sign), but normal and safe speed much higher. I beat a radar ticket here using nolo press materials; the prosecution failed to provide a valid traffic survey as required, and the officer curiously "sicked" out.

Comments:
This section of Hwy 49 had the speed limit increased from 35mph to 45mph-sometime in maybe 2010. It's now consistent with the rest of Hwy 49 all through Auburn from Hwy 80 to the north end of Auburn. Seems much more appropriate.
