is seguin, texas a speed trap?

[jtur88]

Texas has very high speed limits, so there is no reason to expect any tolerance. When I moved here from Michigan, one thing I noticed was that most people drive below the speed limit. I figured they knew something that I didn't know.

They are talking now about lowering the speed limit north of Geronimo to line the city pockets some more. They will tell you...

Is there any documentation to supplement your claims? Did an official at a city council meeting say anything like that? You make a lot of assumptions using the pronoun "they".

From a fellow driver's persepective (only 2 tickets in 11 years...both when I was 16), it would seem that any time you have a vehicle stopped to turn left (whether in a lane of traffic or in a turn lane), nearing vehicles should slow. The best that a turn lane gives you is a few feet on your side-views from traffic traveling either direction.

Estelline, a dusty little town on US 287 along the banks of the Red River, uses money from speeding tickets to finance almost all of their budget. They issued around $300,000 in traffic fines a couple years ago.
