Sharon, Wisconsin Speed Traps

When leaving this town and seeing a speed limit sign of 55 in the middle of a corn field one half mile ahead after crawling through town at 25, you can’t help but speed up and bango…a ticket! This practice should be illegal…What they should do is post another damn 25 mph sign where the 55 mph sign is so you don’t speed up…but that would be considerate to those of us who don’t know the game.

There is a reduction with warning from highway speed 55 to 35, with multiple signs, then a SUDDEN reduction to 25 without a separate warning. There are about 100 feet between signs for 35 and 25. The police are polite but vigilant.
