Billboard Wars Over Lawtey As A "Speed Trap"
The City of Lawtey will not stop you for going the speed limit. Everyone who is whining about this had to have been speeding. I travel through Lawtey frequently, I even travel through Waldo freuently (the other 'speedtrap per AAA'). I average around 45-48 mph and never have a problem. What gets me is I am always passed by several vehicles that are clearly going in excess over the posted speed limit. Yet, those would be the first ones to complain about getting a ticket. Anyone with a complaint can contact the LAwtey PD by visiting www.lawtey-fl.com/ policedept. There is no 'trap' as there are billboards on both ends of town and the cops do not target people as it has been said. You speed, you get stopped adn you get a ticket. (Thursday Sep 18 | post #24)
Billboard Wars Over Lawtey As A "Speed Trap"
Lawtey is not a speed trap. Mainly those who have been stopped call it that. The speed limits are clearly posted. With a school campus right next to US 301, the LPD is strict with those that choose to violate the posted speed limits. You can travel through this town safely a few miles above 45 mph, which is the limit through town, yet I always observes many, many others flying through without a care. Then they always cry foul when they are stopped and ticketed. I am a member of AAA myself, and I critize them frequently for their choice in declaring a speed trap. If the people will not speed, then they will not get a ticket, it is just plain and simple. (Mar 25, 2008 | post #4)
