Benton is a very small 1 red light town close to the Ocoee and Hiwassee rivers. Benton City recieves most of the town funding through water service and police citations. There is a caution light if you are traveling North on 411 but the speed limit drops from 55mph to 40mph before you get to it, however if you are paying close attention you will see it about a half mile before you reach it…start slowing down when you cross the river bridge there is a beauty salon right after you cross the bridge on the left, that is where the speed changes. The city limits starts before the bride and the caution light. Going through town it goes from a 2 lane HWY to a 4 lane and the police use that to catch any speeders and the are famous for stopping people for not wearing a seat belt. They always check for valid IDs and drivers license as well as warrents.

The police have normal police cars as well as SUVs that are difficult to tell they are cops. They generally set in front of the First Volunteer bank on your left of going North. They are almost always in front of the Benton Municipal Building and it is right on the Norht side of the HWY but is easy to come upon and not see them due to the hills of the road. The really interesting thing about Benton City traffic court is ther is no court cst so if you miss the signs and get yourself a ticket, you pay only the ticket unless you pay it late then they add on $50.00 and usually suspend your license.
