Rock Hill, South Carolina Speed Traps
Mt Gallant from India Hook Rd 2.5 miles to Museum Rd.
Cops sit at a church behind their sign w/radar and on Falconwood Circle w/cars and on motorcycles. 35 mph is too slow in a rural area. They also run moving radar as road is curvy.
Mount Gallant Road from Hwy 161 to Celanese Rd Bypass
State troopers patrol the road on motorcycles with radar from before dawn daily and the speed limit changes back and forth from 35mph to 45mph for no reason.
Corner where Rawlinson Rd and Heckle meet (Zaxby’s)
There can be as many as 6 cops here. Times are random when cops sit on the side of the road or on the median shooting the laser in either direction and you won’t see them in time, unless you’re aware and on the lookout. The speed limit changes in this vicinity from 55 to 45 back at the church down this road, going towards Herlong (Fatz Cafe, McDonald’s, Bi-Lo Shopping Center.)
Dave Lyle Boulevard (SC-122)
Going towards Downtown Rock Hill, there is sometimes a trap set up either in the median or between the bushes on the side of the road after York Technical College but before the overpass. Very tricky. Speed limit here is 45MPH, but some are in a rush going over the overpass and get caught speeding. RHPD seem to do this at least twice a month, so be careful.
Rock Hill I 77 from exit 77 to exit 90
On two lane interstates throughout South Carolina the speed limit is 70. In Rock Hill it widens to 8 lanes and the speed limit drops to 60. The troopers are there 7 days per week, Saturday and Sunday mornings included, when there is no traffic. You can drive from Rock Hill to Florence at 70 MPH on a narrow old 2 lane road. But coming into Rock Hill on a new 4 lane they will be waiting 7 days per week with a 60 MPH limit. If this isn’t a speed trap, I don’t know what would be.
