Beatty Nevada Town limits
We are staying in a RV park in Beatty NV, next to Hwy 95 and have noticed at least 8 traffic stops in a 4 hour period. There are 3 Nye County sheriff’s patrol cars in this town with a population of 1000. It appears that Beatty is a profit center for Nye County. In their defense, 25 mph is an appropriate speed for this town and 70 mph is appropriate for the outskirts. I would rather come up to the town limits fast and slow down fast then get slowed down to 55 or 45 three miles out of town. The best way to handle a speed trap is to not spend any money in the town and make sure the chamber of commerce, the businesses, the county supervisors and the sheriff know about it. When they lose $400.00 in business to make $200.00 off a fine, things might change.
