upon leaving the city limits the speed limit goes from 45 to 55 to 60 within a quarter mile then increases to 70 – 1/2 mile before mile post 552 (the hwy 90 sign after the 70 mph sign). directly across the highway on the westbound side is a speed limit sign for 60 mph. I just increased my speed and stopped accelerating because I went slightly over. It was on my way to work at 2:30 am, there was no traffic etc. and it was the last week of the month. I was ticketed for traveling 73 mph in a 60 mph zone by a trooper traveling in the opposite direction (not stationary) who did an immediate u-turn. when I tried to explain to the officer that the speed limit was 70 I was told “not yet” and given a citation. I have been stopped numerous times on my way to work in the 2 or 3 mile stretch of hwy 90 through Castroville vicinity for not dimming lights, speeding 2 or 3 miles over posted limit for several seconds etc. My wife has been stopped numerous times as well. We both commute through here at around 2 to 3 am. I understand that this is probably at a time when there are a lot more drunk drivers out but there aren’t any bars in or near Castroville that I know of and neither of us exhibit characteristics associated with intoxicated vehicle operation. We are well aware of this Harassment Zone and extremely careful when driving through it.
