I was teased during an out of state trip for following the speed limit so closely, so you can imagine my surprise when a state highway patrolman pulled me over in Limon. None of the 4 people in my car saw the sign indicating the drop in the speed limit from 75 to 65. As I was clocked at 78 mph, that is a BIG speeding ticket! I am not pleased to be sending Colorado an additional $160, and I will not pass that way again, you can be sure. Of course, I had the option of returning the next week to go to traffic court, but as I live in Ohio that couldn't happen. This is clearly a hidden tax applied mostly to out-of-state travelers who can't do anything about it. Definitely a speed trap in my book! Now smile and pay the nice officer the money.

Nearly everywhere else on the Interstate system, reductions in the speed limit are preceeded by a notification sign "speed limit 65 mph ahead". No such sign at Limon, Colorado. I guess a bustling metropolis like Limon (population of fewer than 2000 people) needs a reduced speed limit for safety sake???

There is a 65mph speedlimit sign. I pass it almost twice a week heading to denver.. Its like 4 miles east of Limon! It's annoying cause of the fact that is on a curve and in fact, if your not paying attention you won't see it!
