When coming into Three Rivers from the South, the speed trap is set just entering town after going over a rise in the highway. You cannot see the local police car over the rise and you hardly have time to slow down after the speed limit changes from 70 to 55 to 40 in rapid succession.
Their favorite time is at dusk when you have trouble seeing the speed limit sign.
They will write you a ticket to the maxium speed and will not give you any slack. Their intent is to get maximum fines and court costs.
Travelers going to and from should take notice when entering Three Rivers.
Travelers can divert to Interstate Highway 37 and bypass Three Rivers and come out at George West, TX when travelling South.
When travelling North travellers can take Highway 59 East and intersect Interstate Highway 37 and resume travelling North.
