Creeping into Warsaw (West to East on 40) You will see the town and railroad crossing. The speed limit says 35 but quickly drops very quickly to 25 at the railroad tracks. It is marked but with the railroad crossing and other eye distractions you need to pay attention. On the other side of the tracks to the left a police car zaps radar. The town has some turns to navigate so I drove at the minimum limit until I got out. We’re careful drivers but the curious traps take the fun out of driving to the beach.

In addition, we had our cars stopped at a 9:30PM Friday night check point on a slow residential/vacation renters road in Emerald Isle after family Putt Putt. 3 police cars at a small intersection of nice vacation homes. No issues but startling. It wasn’t fun to drive/site see with constant monitoring of every MPH on the dash. We were more concerned about the speedo than Emerald Isles twisted run/bike/golf cart/people crossing going on all around you.

I understand why all this exists but we will look for routes/beach destinations that don’t have such a trap feel. But hey, might just be me. I avoided Maysville and that trap this year. Went home through New Bern. These towns should focus on business so people stop and spend- not just want to get through/out of.
