US Highway 19 near County Road 40 Road
City police car stationed on west side of 19 facing south bound lane on 19 100 ft before intersection. As you approach intersection you will be slowing down for the intersection of course and you will be coming down a 65 MPH 4 lane divided hwy. The trap is the posted speed limit signs go from 65 to 45 in a very short distance and quite a distance from the intersection. A prudent person would take his foot off the accelerator when he sees the up coming intersection slowing down from 55 or 65 to a safe speed or about 40 MPH. If the signs were posted further out and further apart you would not have to slam on brakes to keep from exeeding posted 45. Most people won’t because you have plenty of road left before you get to the intersection but that little strip that you will exeed the limit by 5 to 10 miles will get you a ticket. Selective enforcement is suspected. Pick up trucks are okay out of town vehichles and expensive cars are targeted.
