State Route 66 near State Highway 17

Zolfo Springs, FloridaApr 04, 20071 Comments

Heading west on SR66 coming into Zolfo Springs,FL, one negotiates a left curve. The sign just after the curve states 50 mph (down from 60). Within a quarter mile the limit drops to 40, also posted. The sign just past the curve is immediate. Braking, rather than coasting is needed to conform to the limit. The police are very predatory in Zolfo Springs. There is no asking for a warning as the ticket is completed by the officer as he calls in license and registration information. You will be approached with a fully completed ticket. Zolfo Springs, a town of 1,666 in a county of 28,000 has 5 police officers. Although this population of 1,666 could be well served by the county sheriff’s office, the town seems to have a relatively large force to generate revenue from its predatory speed trap zone.

Comments:
This is a minor speed trap. This year Zolfo Springs police department was disolved. Hardee county sheriff's office now has jurisdiction over Zolfo Springs. For the past two months, under the direction of Sheriff Arnold Lanier, deputies are doing an outstanding job of protecting and serving the community. The deputies are highly visible and dedicated officers.
