School zone
Albany has one school zone at least several blocks from a school. The zone is located east of downtown on hwy 180. When school is let out early or not in session, the school zone flashing lights are on with the cop waiting at the usual time to write tickets. If heading east, the flashing lights are located on a very big curve in the road. This curve is the frequent site for accidents due to excessive speed and misjudging the curve. Sign is easy to miss if you are watching for cars approaching the curve from the opposite direction. Also, if you happen to enter hwy 180 from one of the side roads between the two school zone signs, there is no warning you have entered a school zone. Info i was given was that Abilene controls the lights and the local cop doesn’t have children so he may not know school is not in session. Info is readily available on AISD website. General consensus of locals is that out of towners are frequently given more tickets than locals.
