State Route 41-A near County Trunk 279

The entire town from city limit to city limit and one mile beyond is locally notorious for having ridiculous speed limit posting changes along the main artery through town. IE: 55 mph to 45 mph to 30 mph, up and down without any warning signs of decreasing speed limit. Speed limit signs are few and far between and difficult to see. Road is five lanes wide, with wide clear shoulders, few intersections and the posted speed limit Outside each side of town is 55 mph. Traffic stops will also occur without probable cause. Officers will state: "You were swerving, I couldn’t see your seatbelt" etc. etc.

OP, you are absolutely right about this speed trap. This must be the primary source of revenue for this smarmy little podunk wide-place-in-the-road. However, the only thing I can see that they spend it on is hot Po-leese cruisers and radar guns. I'm sure the "city" officials find other not-so-visible uses for the hard-earned money of the unwitting victims who wander into their trap. Avoid Estill Springs if at all possible! It's a business for them.
