State Highway 66 near Will Rogers Turnpike
About 2 miles east of where the Will Rogers Turnpike separates from State Highway 66 going east through Catoosa, the speed limit is lowered to 40 MPH, this is a 4 lane divided highway. At the end of the speed zone, there is a hill and that’s where the police wait, with their radar, to get a vehicle speeding up coming down the hill. I was ticketed doing 55 MPH "coming down the hill" in a 40 MPH speed zone. This is no more than a half mile before the speed limit is posted at 50 MPH. Going to court over this ticket, I found almost half of those there where ticketed in the same area. Also, if you plead ‘not guilty’ or ‘no contest’ you do not get your case heard then, you have to come back a 2nd time. If you are found guilty at that hearing, you will pay an extra $39.00 to $169.00, over and above the original fine.
