This trap is a two mile, straight stretch of highway that goes from one end to the other of the Puryear city limits. The speed limit goes from 55 down to 40 MPH and there are numerous locations where the two Puryear police officers can sit on the side of the road and inconspicuously point a radar gun at you.
I was given a warning for doing twelve over about 5 years ago and about 4 years ago I stopped seeing any sign of enforcement. There were no cops to be seen, anywhere. They must have gotten their budget straightened out because the one day that I was late and could not avoid speeding, there he was, sitting in an empty parking lot with his radar gun beaming straight at me. Unfortunately for me I didn’t see him because I happened to be passing someone at the time. I’m not upset about it because I was definitely exceeding the posted limit and the officer lowered it enough so that I didn’t have to suffer through drving school. However, I do think that the 40 MPH limit is a little lower than a realistic speed for this area. I should also mention that a new school has recently been built in Puryear and there is a new 25MPH school zone. They watch it like hawks! Drive safe.
