TX State Hwy 287 at Rayburn Road
I’m 42 and I have a massive respect for law enforcers, the concept of law, and execute safe driving to a degree that normally gets me ridiculed as being a goodie-goodie. I even on occasion will anonymously pick up a cop’s tab at restaurants out of appreciation and that I abhor those with no respect for their fellow man.
I’ve only had 4 speeding tickets in my life 2 (of course) when I was a teen with only 2 in my adult life.
Both of those were issued to me in this worthless town of Corrigan, 10 years apart.
I’m through with using 287 for travel between DFW and Beaumont, which I do upwards of 4 times a year. I’m taking the Interstates from now on, via Dallas to Houston on I-45. The issue is these parasitical communities relish in taking advantage of wildly-deviating speed limits in the matter of yards coupled with the pressure from motorists riding your rear to pressure you to not just stick cruising at the low. This reveals the core priority is NOT public safety, it’s revenue-generation. But, for me this issue is over with because after this last ticket, I came back using the Interstate cruising a vastly-more steady 65-70 with adequate signage and found (as I long suspected) absolutely no loss to time or mileage.
And, besides from now on, if I do get pulled over, it will be by a state trooper, thus I won’t be supplementing bottom-feeder communities anymore.
So, if you commute the same route I do, please consider going totally around as I describe. You won’t be expected to look for purposefully-inadequate speed signs and if you’re happy to set your cruise at an honest speed limit that alters very little for miles on end, your troubles will be over.
