I- 95 & Yemassee Hwy
Anywhere in and around Yemassee, SC it is a speed trap. The town’s income depends on speeders. On I-95, at one exit north of I-95 and Yemassee Hwy Yemassee Police stand on the bridge over I-95 with speed gun. At the I-95 and Yemassee Hwy, Police Cars are lined up to pull over vehicles going south on I-95. Also, downtown Yemassee on Hwy 17 and 21 you can be pulled over barely going over the speed limit. For example, they will tell the driver that he/she was clocked at 58 in a 45 mph zone. I was only going 47. The Yemassee Police wrote on the ticket that I was in a 40 mph zone. Make sure you thoroughly review the ticket for accuracy before the officer leaves. The fine was $180. As you exit Yemassee going out of town (toward Hampton or Beaufort) the speed limits increase. As you increase the speed at the edge of the jurisdiction, they get you doing one mile an hour over.
