Whole town

Refugio, TexasJul 21, 20101 Comments

I live here and am disgusted by who gets tickets and who doesn’t!!! Trucks come through here and run red lights, speed, use engine brakes (signs tell them that it’s illegal to do so BTW), change lanes, etc. but get by with it. A senior citizen on winter break comes through and it’s quick pickings. The school zone lights are on the sides of the road and can easily be blocked by trucks or vans that you are traveling alongside so that they are totally missed. I have mentioned that the school zone signs need to be the type like they use at the fire department (hanging out over the center of the lanes both ways like a stop light) only to be told in no uncertain terms that our lights are legal. Wish the city was as interested in the welfare of students in the school zones as they are in adding to the city coffers. Most people when they find out that you live in Refugio they say " Oh yeah, I got a ticket(s) there when I came through. Not the type reputation I’d like to see our town have. BTW, after you leave the last stop light on the North end of town, you don’t have to stop until you reach the Atlantic Ocean if it’s any consequence to anyone.

If you don't like it then move. You're probably the person that was speeding through the school zone while talking on your cell phone and hit that kid.
