Romney is the only township of any size on Route 50 into or out of the mountain resorts of Northern West Virginia. It is in a valley, and the speed limit reduces from 45 to 35 as you are descending into the valley, and then to 25 MPH in the city itself. Unless you hit your brakes reasonably hard coming into the town you will be speeding when you hit the 35 MPH sign – and you will be ticketed. It is clearly a speed trap; I saw no fewer than 6 police vehicles while traveling through a town that is basically 4 blocks long.
