This one is a classic speed trap to boost the town budget. As you exit off of I-40 eastbound, after coming down through "The Old Fort Gap" a long down hill grade of five miles, the exit ramp is open, graded turn, tendency is to just let your foot off the gas and start dropping off speed. Around the first corner, however, the speed limit suddenly drops to 30 mph, just before the RR bridge overpass and there he is, waiting on the other side of the bridge. Detectors are useless, traffic is rarely heavy, your first warning is your detector screaming and its too late. I sat at the railroad depot, waiting for a friend recently and watched the show. As fast as the officer could write out tickets, he was raking them in. Tendency is very high priced tickets since coasting at a safe speed, you are still most likely going 45-50 mph. This is a classic, unfair speed trap, with poorly placed speed limit signs. I have a red sports car, use this exit frequently and believe me, I slam on the brakes before hitting that curve, and more than once with my detector screaming, I’ve drifted by at 25 mph and wave, the cop obviously a bit miffed he hadn’t nailed me. Again, its the first exit into Old Fort, eastbound on I-40. Also, at the top of the gap, heading westbound, state troopers love to lurk at the top of the exit 66 ramp, nailing folks speeding up after the long climb up the mountain. See them there at least a couple of times a week. So on either end of the gap, be cautious.
