US Highway 290
(Giddings TX.)coming into Gidding either from Austin or Houston the speed limit drops very quick for a four lane HWY. By this time it’s to late, the Police sit near the lower speed limit sign and get you. They also do vehichle profiling. If you have low profile tires, they asume you are a drug dealer or something and will stop you using the excuse you were speeding. My wife, daughter, and poodle were all searched and released without a ticket. Giddings is becoming one of the worst towns to pass through. I take interstate 10 now to Austin due to the corrupt Police Dept. in Giddings TX. Berton TX on HWY 290 just outside of Brenem is all so a speed trap. Be careful going to Austin taking HWY 290 period.
