The entire route through Middletown VA on US Route 11 North or South is used as a speed trap. They have two police officers and strictly enforce the 30 mph speed limit which used to be 35 mph. It is a great source of revenue for the town. The police officers were deputized some years back by the Frederick County Sheriffs department. Since that time they have been taking full advantage by policing the roads as far as two miles outside the city limits. They are also known to enforce fairly obscure traffic laws since there are many transient visitors to the historic area.
