State highway 64 runs through the city limits of Oakland for about a 2-mile stretch. This tiny town has a reported 13 police cars (that’s right – 13) to patrol this 2-mile stretch of highway. Speed limit is 45 mph. and 55 mpf for a short distance. It is not uncommmon to have 300 people show up on court dates and these are just the people who choose to show up at court. The word around the mid-south has gotten around and most all vehicles will slow down. Most motorists that I know will boycott the little town because of its notorious reputation for giving speeding tickets. Even when one is trying to stay within the limits, should you wander above the limit you could be caught. A person who once worked for this city reports that it gets much of its revenue from the tickets written.
