Title: New Franklin County Speed Trap
Post by: JJP on September 23, 2010, 12:13:18 PM
They are sitting farther south on 104 the last couple of early mornings.  They are south of the Rock Church on the side of the road as soon as you crest the hill near the St Albans town line.  Drive Safely.

The best defense is simple. Follow the speed limits and drive safely.

Driving up North everyday I settle in at 70mph behind someone.

Not to avoid a ticket, but to avoid a moose.

Speed kills.

Yeah... But to clairify, I'm only paying the fine- my wife was the one driving (She felt the need to go to Burger King.

She informes me that a $200.00 cheeseburger tastes the same as a $2.00 one.

Problem is the speed limits in most of vT are way to low for the area.

40 mph on Middle road in Milton is ridiculous, just to mention one

OR, is YOUR foot too heavy?

10 mph over the limit will NOT save you 5 minutes..

I have been doing work the Alaska Department of Transportation, it suks, but Speed limits are based on the most excellent driving conditions. (lack of a better adjective).

Clear asphalt........... Kick in the cruise control and pop in a Sinatra CD!
Snow and ice.......... Kick in a classical music CD.

How about 40 mph on County Rd from St. Albans to Swanton?  It's mostly straight road with very few houses and wide open farm fields.  My guess, somebody on the road who likes to drive slow is buddies with someone on the Swanton board.

10 mph over the limit will save 5 minutes or more - depending on the length of your trip.  I'll use my 40 mile daily commute as an example:
@ 40 mph = 60 minutes,
@ 50 mph = 48 minutes
