Verona, Missouri Speed Traps

if you are headed out of Verona (west) on Powerline Road (Farm RD 2220) the cops like to sit at the T Stop, the speed limit is still 25 mph until you get to the top of the hill. same in reverse if you are coming down Farm Road 2220, headed (east) watch your speed, there is a tiny little sign with the speed limit (overgrown by brush) at the top of the hill. Slow down because the cop will not be visible until you are past them.

Town annexed the 3 miles of the highway into it and immediately after their council meeting, began writing tickets. Cop usually parks on Highway 60’s shoulder to catch people coming around a corner. The town itself is about a half-mile north of the town and nothing is on the highway here, and it has apparently become a pretty good revenue source for the town. It took almost a year for city limit signs to go up, despite a state law requiring such signs to be posted in order for the town to enforce the speed limit.

The town tries to avoid reporting the tickets to the state, as a state law requires most of the proceeds of speeding tickets to go to the state to crackdown on speed traps.
