Local P.D. Does lots of narcotics interdiction.as long as you obey all traffic laws you will not have a problem in miles. Local P.D. officers are very Professional.they are doing a great job!!!

Two DPS officers and a Runnels county sheriff's deputy did a fine job of operating this speed trap and controlling local drug operations. Then, Miles officials realized that they were losing a lot of revenue and decided to hire two local officers to fatten their coffers. On two Fridays, that I am aware of, I observed two DPS officers, both local officers and one or two sheriffs deputies stopping anywhere from two to four motorists at one time, for a period of about an hour. Five or six officers patrolling one mile of US 67 is a little overkill. While it is agreed that speed laws should be enforced, it shouldn't be such an obvious speed trap. Spread it out during the week so folks won't be afraid to shop or pass through Miles.

This is definitely a speed trap with the speed limit dropping from 75 mph to 45 mph in a very 'rural-like' (i.e. - hardly residential/town-like) environment...Similar looking places would normally have something like a 55 mph limit posted in an area like this. It would be interesting to see if they were in violation of regulations prohibiting posting limits below what a 'reasonable speed' is as measured by traffic surveys that are supposed to be periodically conducted
