US Highway US-17 Alt./US-21 near Exit Number I-95/Exit 42
Entering Yemassee,SC on US-17Alt/US-21, officer sits in location to see road at entrance to town. A turn in road obscures first buildings, leaving a speed limit sign 1/2 mile from town on long straight road. Ticket is written because you did not slow car before S.L. sign. This town has 800 residents, and at least 5 uniformed officers and one Deputy Sheriff. On Dec 20, there were more than 100 people in traffic court and others simply paying fines. The town residents laugh and say "Where is the Traffic Court?" is the most frequent question they are asked.

All of the officers are not Yemassee officers. They get officers to work traffic from other towns and counties to keep the revenue coming in. If you drive through that town you can rest assured you will get a ticket at some time or another. That is their business and they are very good at it.
