I am pretty shocked the driver was unaware of Estelline’s speed trap mentality and funding source. It’s legendary in Texas. They have a record to boot.
The speed limit drop to 35 from 75 was deemed
unreasonable, so they had to up it to 50 mph.
Estelline is a guaranteed no growth, one horse berg with a terrible reputation and that record.
Sounds like a speed trap town here in Florida called Waldo, Town limits 35mph, then jumps to 55, then back to 35. I drive through 34 all the way and haven’t spent a dime in that town.

********************************
That would still be too large of drop ,,75-50=25 mph exceeds the maximum 15mph change from one speed limit to the next that the D.O.T. allows,, they could enforce it for a while I guess .. until someone gets it to trial and wins.
