Hwy 441

Mountain City, Georgia•Jan 01, 2002•3 Comments

Be very careful going thru this town, this is a major highway that takes alot of people towards pigeon forge and Gatlinburge, so the cops in this town don’t have to much to do three cops on the whole force. whole town is less than 500 people so you got to make money were you can. this town is only about a mile long it is on a major four lane where anywhere else on this road speed limit is 55, but at this town speed limt drops from 55 to 25 right as you round the cruve coming into town and ‘BAM’ they got you before you even knew what hit you, and fines in this town are very steep. they normaly sit at the pure gas station as you come to town

The only violation of GA law by Mountain City police is that they do not provide police protection 24/7 as required by law to operate speed detection devices. All officers are now full time employees which has not always been the case. Have never noticed them "hiding in bushes" but they park at a body shop on the east side of highway and blend in with parked cars already there. The speed limit does reduce from 55 down to 45 but no less than that. They also have signs posted at each end of town that warn "Drive carefully. Speed limit strictly enforced. Make no mistake, they will write you for speeding but I wouldn't classify them a speed trap.

I am a resident of Mountain City. I appreciate our officers, they try to keep things safe for all. This particular stretch of 441 is very dangerous. There have been many fatal accidents in Mnt. City. Please go the speed limit, it could save your life. The signs are clearly posted. I wouldn't call it a speed trap. Without the lower speed, I would call it a death trap.

Speed limit drops from 55 to 45. It should be less than that!
