Tyler, Texas Speed Traps
Shiloh Road near Inverness Drive
This is the hill on Shiloh east of Paluxy. By the time you reach the bottom of the hill going either way, most drivers are doing more than the 40mph limit. There’s usually a motorcycle cop parked on Inverness, far enough back that you don’t see him until you’re almost to Inverness.
Interstate 20 near Mile Marker 551
State trooper aims Ka-band instant-on at eastbound traffic.
The road makes a sharp turn there and they are waiting. It is a perfect speed trap. My Escort X-50 did not alert me until the very last second.
