Salley, South Carolina Speed Traps

On the east end of Salley, there are no speed signs on the eastbound side. It is a rather small town; the east side is very sparsely populated, and the town limits extend some considerable distance. It looks like country (country road speed limit in SC is 55). At a curve, about 1/4 mi. from the east city limits, a police car sets up on the left (south) side of the road. Just beyond him, there is a 30 mph sign. Before seeing the sign, you’re on top of the cop.
The next wide shoulder (after he pulls you over) is a couple of hundred yards past the 30 mph sign. Just ahead on the right is a 55 mph sign. 47 mph cost me $180 and 4 points.
