Since the traffic in Helena has continued to build up from so many people moving in here; the numbers for our friends writing tickets are off the chart.
The peak time of course is rush hour, both morning and afternoon; when there are just hundreds of cars stuck on the two lanes of traffic through all of Helena. Especially in the afternoon when everybody is tired and cranky and are likely to go faster or pass someone who is just poking along. Drivers are sitting ducks in this much of a traffic backup.
Two hot spots: Hwy. 261 going towards Pelham by the quarry, across the bridge and by the cemetery entrance.
Hwy. 52 (Morgan Road) heading south towards Bessemer, past Golden Rule on the left and Gunner Lane on the right. Also in that area by Jackson Square subdivision and Tocoa Parc sub.
Another on Hwy. 17 heading towards Alabaster past the dollar store on the left and oil change place on the right; just before you get to the red light.
