State Highway Spencer near Between 16th St. and Sens Road

La Porte, TexasJan 09, 20081 Comments

The bridge on Spencer Hwy between 16th Street and Sens Road is a major speed trap. They park their patrol cars on the ramps getting on Spencer. The way that they get you is that the posted speed limit signs are 2 blocks back from the bridge so if you come off of either 16th street or Sens Road, you don’t know what the posted speed limit is because it is behind you. The police station just went close to that bridge so I guess they are trying to pay for the new building.

Comments:
The bridge mentioned is a 6 lane plus median-lane overpass. It is an identical twin to the overpass less than one mile north just off Hwy 146 on E. Fairmont. Why would this overpass be posted a normal 45mph, but the one about 1/4 mile from the new police station be 35mph?
