Holly Springs, Georgia Speed Traps

There is a construction zone on Holly Springs Parkway between Rabbit Hill Rd and Hickory Road. The speed limit drops drastically just before the zone heading north. Police sit in driveways waiting for traffic in either direction to travel through the construction zone without adequate time to decelerate.

Speed cameras are now mounted on the overpass and are trained in both sides of the interstate.

Car sits far off the road in the woods on the south side of Hickory Road with the next intersection being Harmony Lakes Drive. Closest major road is East Cherokee. The speed limit is artificially low in this area -40 – on a stretch you’d expect to be 45 – 55 (LONG straightaways, few/very slight curves, no immediate residences, no sidewalks, double yellow lines, etc.) with speed limit signs being far and few between. In fact, this stretch of road is so lightly populated that I had to drive some distance to even reach a side road so they could ticket me.

There are always 1 to 2 police cars either behind the Chevron station, in front of the station or or at the road to the church right off the exit. You will be stopped for ANY infraction.

Eastbound traffic goes down long hill with a single up pitch near the bottom. It’s necessary to brake steadily going down the hill so you’re not speeding on the crest. That’s where they nail you. I live nearby and see this trap run frequently. It’s a scam and I see people abused every week. The county used to run this trap until the city annexed the area. They probably did it just for the revenue.
