US Highway 72
Due to the number of automobile accidents occurring in Eastern Limestone County, the speed limit on Highway 72 has been lowered to **45mph WHEN RAINING**. Otherwise, the posted speed limit is 60mph. This speed limit is enforced from the Eastern Athens city limits to the Elk River Bridge (where Limestone County ends and Lauderdale County begins).

I was stopped and ticketed by a State Trooper for speeding. I did not deny that I was speeding, but the speed limit dropping to 45 without warning was the cause. Also the Trooper that stopped me was extremely rude to me. His attitude was offensive. I wish I had his name,,, I would report him to the Main Office in Montgomery. I have a cousin that retired as an Alabama State Trooper, and when I told him of the way I was treated, he said the Trooper that stopped me should be reprimanded.
I probably know the name of the Trooper that ticketed you,I won't say a name,but YES...he's a miserable person. Also as an addendum to this speed trap , this should be describing WESTERN Limestone County from the City Limits of Athens to the Elk River.IT IS frequently patrolled by State Troopers!!!
