Westmoreland, Tennessee Speed Traps
Westmoreland TN on TN Hwy 231 / 31E
Highway 231 / 31E entering the town of Westmoreland (population approx 2000). Speed limit rapidly drops from 55 to 45 to 30mph. 30mph speed limit “feels” incredibly slow given the sparse traffic, good visibility, and straight wide road. Police cars, some unmarked, are regularly patrolling the area (again – this is a small town of about 2000). Today, on Christmas Day, I saw someone pulled over by an unmarked police car – I think it was a Black Mustang. My general feeling is there’s very little danger of driving faster than 30mph and you have to concentrate (even hit your brakes) to not go faster than 30mph in this are. I find it likely they take advantage of the geography to ticket unwary out-of-town travelers to raise city funds.
