New Rome, a little "blink and you’ll miss it" hole along West Broad Street, is by far the worst speed trap. Actually, I am not even sure that you could call it a speed trap because the 13 part-time police officers don’t try to hide from you…they will just pull you over for the fun of it. They have a budget of $400,000 a year, most of which comes from the traffic fines, and over the last 10 years, over $100,000 has come up missing. Just goes to show the quality of people they have in their little government. When traveling through New Rome, think back to Driver’s Ed class, and do exactly what you were taught. I have lived west of New Rome for almost 3 years, and luckily have never gotten a ticket. But it is only a matter of time until New Rome has it’s own episode of "COPS". You don’t get pulled over by just one car, you get every single one on duty like you were a running drugs or something. Go north to I-70, or put those hands at 10 and 2, go 5mph under the speed limit, and keep your fingers crossed. They may need your fine for their next vacation.
