Venus, Texas Speed Traps

going into Venus on hwy 157 from South to North the speed limit changes from 55 to 45 to 30 to 20 in less than 1/4 mile, the police officer sits in front of the 90 degree left hand curve where 157 turns into 8th street. As you approch the turn you see the police car on the left shoulder
with the 30 mph sign on the right followed by a 20mph sign. If you see the officer and not the 30 mph sign, you will get a ticket for 45 in a 30.

Love to hide on US 67.

officer hides in field…pulls you over first says it is a insurance and driver license check…when he checks you out as you go to leave he asks what you are doing out at that time.he then asks for your id back again and writes a citation for speeding.he pulls billy club flashlight and demands you to sign it.he informs you that you have no witnesses.i talked to the chief of venus to no avail.thier court was a joke.i wrote the attorney general about this.

The park over hills, hide in drive ways or just patrol up and down hwy 67. Especially bad on weekends and at night.

This is a one patrol car town and this is how they pay for it. Hwy 67 is a four lane divided highway between two major interstates. The speed limit varies dramatically from 50 to 70. If you are not paying close attention you will be in a 55 zone and not not it. The city limits of this “town”” Venus has a large footprint on the highway compared to the size of the actual town probably about 5 miles and they hide all along it mainly right over hills. P.S. the cops are very big headed so watch your responses or they will give you grief. “
