Woodsboro, Texas
Woodsboro is located five miles south of Refugio, Texas on Hwy 77 South. Whereas the speed limit is raised to 70 mph as soon as you leave Refugio, just 5 miles down the road, drivers are forced to drastically reduce their speed to 55 miles per hour, for a mere distance of less than a mile (Woodsboro area). The town of Woodsboro is nestled far from Hwy 77 and therefore it is obvious that their citizens are not in any danger of fast-travelling traffic; there is no logical reason to force drivers to slow down to 55 mph. This situation does not occur again for 150 miles, where there is a stretch of highway, without notable population or businesses, but drivers are forced to slow down anyway. Also, there are only about 4-5 legitimate businesses on this small stretch of highway; one could understand the need for a reduction in speed if there were enough businesses/people along the highway to merit a change in speed allowance. There is no logical reason for the citizens of Woodsboro, Texas to be allowed to conduct such obvious traffic gouging activity; this tiny town is a speed trap.
