State Route 515 near 27th Avenue
Traveling Northbound on the Benson (SR515) the speed limit drops from 45 mph to 35 mph at the city limits. As you round the next curve, a motorcycle officer sits in wait. This usually starts as early as 6:30 AM and sometimes runs until after 4:00 PM. If you watch the vehicles ahead of you, you’ll notice their break lights come on when they pass the speed trap. That would be your clue.
