Van Buren, Arkansas Speed Traps
Interstate 40
This part of interstate 40 is a major drug corridor and I believe there is racial profiling, and you will get stopped, searched, and ticketed no matter the speed.
Highway 64 Between Alma and Van Buren!
This is mainly for truckers. The highway between Alma and Van Buren is guarded to prevent truckers from skipping the weight station on I 40…Get your information together before you get stopped for you will be there for almost 30 minutes. They will always stop you at ‘The Pepper Source Factory.’ Notice that they built a asphault shoulder on the exact spot they stop you….Sometimes there will be two cops there. One will stay to help or even get a second trucker or speeding car.
I-40 Before and After the I-540 Exit
Cops are under bridge or hiding on the side. Cops on FRIDAY and SATURDAY night esp. Look out for Camaro Cop; He will try to force you to go higher than the speed limit. Becare near Pointer Trail. Observe Map. http://webcenter.maps.aol.com/travel/main.dci?function=cityMaps&action=map&northemerica=1&city=van+buren&state=AR&zip=&submit.x=57&submit.y=19
I-40, between Hwy. 59 exit and Oklahoma border
The city of Van Buren and Arkansas State Police love to patrol the five miles between Van Buren and Oklahoma "in the name of catching drug runners." Patrol cars will usually sit in the median clocking the I-40 east-bound lane, before you reach the visitor’s center. The lane goes over a small hill before you reach their favorite spot. By that time, if you see them it’s too late.
