Liberty Hill, Texas Speed Traps

CR 200 is a 6 mile straight shot North from SH 29. This road was all potholes, bumpy and narrow for the past 20 years at least. The locals would drive around 70 MPH on CR200, which is extremely too fast. In 2003 it was paved, widened, and a left turn lane was added at CR 201. After repairing the road the speed limit was dropped to 40 MPH. It is difficult, even for me in a little Toyota Carolla, to drive the 40 MPH speed. It is dangerous because you’re always looking at your speedometer and tapping the brake. Then you have people speeding past you at dangerous speeds when the whole County road is a no passing zone. South of SH 29 on CR 200 the speed limit is 50 MPH! This is where there is a daycare and it is a residential street. There is also an Elementary School on this stretch of road. The speed limit goes from 50 to 40 to 30 in a 1/2 mile stretch before getting to the intersection of Loop 332 (the south section of 200 just south of 29)and 1869 where there is a stop sign. What I don’t understand is why is the speed limit on CR 214 45 MPH?(the next county road east of 200). This is the exact same type of raod that 200 is. It should be at least 50 MPH. Also, CR 200 and CR 214 is not residential. It’s all ranch land.

County Road 279, also known as Bagdad Road, which runs N-S between Leander and Liberty Hill. The speed limit is 45, probably because of a few driveways on this stretch of roadway. The same type of road,FM 1869, which is a crossroad of CR 279, the speed limit is 60. There are also driveways on 1869. I always see Troopers and Sheriff Dept. vehicles checking radar on 279. I drive a school bus on this road every day. The speed limit of 45 is too low on this road.

I see the DPS sitting on the side of the road all the time in the dark no lights on anything, the will get you speed limit is 55 seems a little slow at least till you get to the town, I have been popped in that area for BS before.
