US 400 usually sitting in pullout in west bound lane by H.S.

Leon, KansasMay 12, 20111 Comments

This is a rural Hwy with 65 mph speed limit. Changes to 50 without warning at Leon city limits, then changes to 45 mph just 100 yards or so later until you are past the school, then back up to 50 and finally back to 65. There is no apparent reason for the slow down as there are no houses or intersections. There is a road that leads to the school which is visible 1/4 mile or so off the road. This trap is known to be a great money maker for the town as it is so easy to miss the speed limit signs or get confused by the fact that there is no real reason to slow down.

Comments:
I think the only speed reduction should be made during the time that school is starting and ending , say 1/2 hour each time, The money doesn't go to the town...or it would have money to fix the huge pot holes in its terrible streets, but it does go into the police fund. Afterall it takes several man hours to sit and maintain that speed trap!!!!!
