I was on 40, got off on 52 south. the limit on 40 is 65 in that section. Hwy 52 is 65 all the way up till 40. I didn't know that until I popped over the hill and saw the 55 mph sign. The cop was about 100-200yds behind the sign. His brake lights went on, followed by a quick flash of reverse lights. At that point I knew what was up. He wrote me up for 68 in a 55 (In a 65 zone, this is NOT speeding, right?). No break. I didn't plead my case because he said "We've got a program on this stretch..." which told me that they were looking for prople rolling off 40 thinking it was 65. After the ticket, I rolled on and the speed limit went up to 65 in under 2 miles. I know this because I drove the same stretch a few weeks later. It's all about making money for the county. Watch out. they're broke and that's a good reason for stopping everyone-$130 court cost, $30 fine. Another $75 for a lawyer if you go that route. It makes me cranky-I DON"T SPEED and I got busted.

Actually the speed limit on 52 drops to 55 atleast a mile before you get to the I-40 interchange. It does not jump back to 65 again until you get up around Rural Hall.
