No mention of McBee, SC = pointless and badly researched article.

Worst place I have seen is Emporia Virginia. Maybe its changed since 1997 though.

Hwy 151 Mcbee, South Carolina

The Town of McBee is now attempting to obtain road spikes for "high speed chases." As if paying a ridiculous fine isn't enough now everyone who exceeds the speed limit may have to purchase new tires.

This trap is flashed in your face, with a huge warning "Watch your Speed, Speed Trap" posted at the entrance of the town going both directions. The speed, along a 4 lane highway drops from 55 to 45, to 35, to 25 in a span of about a mile.

It has. It's much worse. Virginia in general is one giant speeding trap. And so is Chapel Hill

I have NEVER went through that area without seeing one or two cars pulled over on both sides of the Interstate there!!

I never went thru it on the Interstate. When I was stationed in Norfolk, I use to travel highway 58 about twice a month. The Emporia stretch usually had 2-3 cars pulled at any one time.

Glad you guys are contributing to the tax revenue.

My speedometer goes:

65... 54... 44.. 34... 20...

My town is nothing but speed traps.. gotta pay for those new shiny police mustangs somehow!

Can't wait until they get one of these:

But maintenance is going to be a bitch!

I would rather see them doing this than (I guess on this board I should say "then") setting up road blocks. Road blocks are horse poo.
