State Highway 98

Downtown FWB usually West and East bound traffic. Police officers sit in either the Old School House parking lot to write the tickets, while one officer stands on the North side of road with the radar and will flag you over. The other ones will sit in the Tringas parking lot to write the tickets and one on the South side of the street with the radar and flagging you into the parking lot. Sometimes they are at both locations at the same time bringing them in 1 to 4 at a time. The speed limit is 25 starting on the top of the Brooks Bridge to right after Beal turn off. They will allow 5 over but not much more.

No, not a speed trap in downtown FWB. Rarely do you see a car going too fast being stopped in that area.

This is not a speed trap, the signage is clearly visible - multiple times. The speed limit decrease is from 35 to 25. Had a friend get ticketed for doing 55 in the 25 and she thought she could get out of the ticket - she didn't.

Not a speed trap...A requirement! During the day, this area is a pedestrian walking area for all the small shops in the downtown (Main Street) area. During the night the bars open and there is a great deal of intoxicated pedestrian traffic. The speed drops from 35 to 25 mph well in advance and is very well posted. Yes, there are a number of speeders and if the officers wrote all the people who speed less than 40 miles per hour, they would get writer's cramp.
