Mart, Texas Speed Traps

The new Officer in town will stop you and tell your license plates lights are out when they are actually fine and working properly. I have also noticed this new officer is right out of school and can’t be over 21 years of age. I have seen him stop people including trucks that I know were not speeding or had done anything else wrong. I did not receive a ticket but I thought this is becoming a problem again in this town.

This is the only town I have seen ongoing drug sales throughout the day and night across the street from a police cruiser. Easier money in traffic tickets. The speed goes from 70 down to 40 through town. I usually saw people get targeted around the car wash or just outside of town.

Watch your Ps and Qs driving through this town. Especially on 164 (the main street), enforcement is high. Do NOT exceed even 1 mile over the posted speed limit, or God help you!

Do not drive a mile over the speed limit in Mart (especially at night) because the cops typically have nothing better to do. They drive black cruisers. 164 is the town’s main drag that they love to patrol–top speed limit is 40.
