(Pineville, Louisiana) – Driving the scenic highways and byways of Louisiana should be an enjoyable experience, or at least, not an expensive trip. Speeding in Louisiana is something that happens across the state, but some areas are more notorious than others as ‘Speed Traps’. The Pineville Police Department took to social media to set the record straight.
There have been plenty of discussions regarding speed traps, locations where the speed limit drastically changes and police are positioned nearby to catch drivers who don’t react promptly to the change in speed. Some of these areas are VERY familiar to the residents of the towns and those who frequent those roadways.
I can think of one particular road in South Louisiana that switches from at least 55MPH to 40MPH (it has been a minute since I’ve been in the area, and the max speed limit heading in might be 65MPH now)…
