Sweeny, Texas Speed Traps
FM 1459 near Rural Ln
Upon Entering Sweeny, the speed limit decreases from 60 to 55, and just a few yards down, down to 45… not much further after that, it then goes down to 35, with Sweeny’s black-and-white cop car waiting for you there.
FM 524 / Main Street at Avenue A
When approaching Sweeny from the south on FM 524, the speed limit drops from 60 to 50. A quarter of a mile down the road, the speed limit drops from 50 to 30 (at Elm Street) with no other advance warning sign, and there is usually a city officer parked by the railroad tracks another block down, clocking people coming from that direction.
N. Main St./FM-524
Sped Limit is reduced from 45 to 30 next to Subway. Cop loves to sit there, next door at the storage place or at the car wash nearby. (FM-524/N. Main Street)
E Ashley-Wilson Road
I’ve seen patrol parked usually either in the Stewart’s Grocery parking lot or in front of the High School (corner of E Ashley-Wilson Rd. & N Hackberry St.), clocking people coming in from Christian’s Corner (speed limit drops from 45 to 30).
Elm Street near Mac Court
This morning and a couple times before, there has been a gray Chevorlet Suburban sitting either between the Jr. High and High Schools or the old Civic Club area, clocking people. It was unmarked the first time I saw but now there’s a Texas symbol on the side of the vehicle… I believe it’s the Sweeny School District Police, which was formed in 06.
