Quitman, Texas Speed Traps
Hwy 778 West just inside the city limits
Traveling into town the speed limit drops from 70 mph to 45 mph at the top of the hill. Local officers wait at the bottom of the hill near the cemetery on the right to ticket any and all.
State Highway 154 West near Lake Fork Bridge
Trooper stops/tickets males incessantly from the Lake Fork Bridge east on 154 to Quitman. He stops women but doesn’t ticket usually–just has them get out & do the test walk. Avoid this stretch of highway, speed limit 60 mph, if at all possible. Quitman residents already take another route when traveling to Sulphur Springs to avoid harassment & tickets.
Hwy. 154, both east & west, Hwy. 37, both north & south
City policemen hide behind billboards coming into city of Quitman from all four directions; write tickets regardless of time of day or night! City judge is also local justice of the peace, who has no mercy on anyone except her close friends and local officials and their families. BE AWARE!!
