Coming east into Bristol on US-11W from I-81, the speed limit abruptly drops from 55 to 35. The Bristol PD sit behind a trash dumpster in a private parking lot just after the speed limit abruptly drops from 55 to 35. Sometimes they sit a quarter of a mile up the hill and around the turn in another private parking lot behind a trash dumpster. They enforce 36 in this area. There is almost no notice that the speed limit is going to drop abruptly from 55 to 35. The Bristol PD makes it’s car payments off of the money that the out of towners donate to this speed trap. Locals know to be doing 35 before they reach this speed trap. I was daydreaming and forgot the abrupt change from 55 to 35 the day they got me. With the speed limit changing 20 miles an hour, it’s either a guaranteed high cost ticket or an expensive trip to the lawyers office. Either way, you are going to make an expensive donation to the economy if caught by this speed trap in Bristol, TN.
