US 17 N just inside town limits and US 58 just inside city.
Officer parks southbound on US 17 N on edge of city limits in 35 mph zone 500 ft from 55 mph sign. You must slow down fast before you reach the 35mph sign. Maysville apparently relies on speeding tickets for revenue. The western approach to town for beach goers taking short-cut is another trap. Be under 35 before coming into sight of the water tower. Leaving Maysville on Highway 58 is the primary trap as another 35 mph sign is located less than200 feet from the 55 mph sign. The idea is for you to speed up before you reach the 55 sign. Look to your left to see an unmarked police car parked in the low income housing apartments. One mph over the speed limit equals a ticket in Maysville. The Chief of police and his officers are very aggressive and attempt to intimidate drivers when they are stopped. Maysville is also notorious for DWI check points to catch tourists coming from the beach. Beware of Maysville and its police. Even those of us who live in the area try to avoid going through Maysville except to go to New Bern.
