“””

Lott is on Hwy 77 between Waco and Rosebud. The worst instance is when heading north on Hwy 77 where the road is wide and straight. The speed limit drops suddenly from 70 to 55 on a very long straight stretch of the road before you really get into the community and the road does not pass through any residential sections.”The limit drops all the way to 45. Because of the long stretch of road it is possible for the police to catch you on radar way before you can actually identify the police car. Totally unrealistic speed limits for road and traffic situations.”””

Officers try to be unobtrusive, but visible if you look for them. They are most active on week-ends from the City Limits signs on Highway 77. The city receives a Huge part of it’s annual budget from speeding tickets and driving infractions.

Moving Radar traps. Officers set up radar at short distances from reduced speed limit signs, and give very little, if no time to deccelerate from previous speed.
