Carlsbad, Texas Speed Traps

On this major route through west Texas, passing through a number of small towns where speed limits are not affected, for a mile and a half, the speed suddenly drops from 70 to 60. State Highway patrolmen are stationed to catch violators. There is a state school located just off this highway and is used as the excuse for the 10 mph drop in speed, though there are no school buses- and certainly were not on the Labor Day holiday that I received my ticket.
