I think AAA has that listed as one of the towns to stay away from. In fact, I think they route folks around it if it's on a trip tick. Also, Waldo is another town that monitors the speeds closely

NO such think as a slow Vette!
If someone showed up in a Mustank then they would be at the tail end and get caught!

Ah yes. The classic bear defensive measure. Make sure you go into bear country with someone who runs slower than you do..........

I take 301 about 6 times a year on the way to see the grandkids up in Virginia. Hop onto 301 from I75 just before Gainesville using SR24. The bad stretch runs from Waldo, through Starke and then Lawtey. All three towns are known traps but I just slow down to what's posted when going through. I use my wife's non-discript Suzuki wagon most of the time, which doesn't stand out, but I'm sure if your over the limit the only thing they wouldn't stop is a marked State Trooper.

Yup, that's the route. We know about the speed traps and just stay cool going though those towns.....

I travel that "friendly" little corridor several times a year to visit the wife's parents in Jax. We were heading up there late one night and they had a little checkpoint setup in Starke. They were actually routing every car on 301 into a parking lot to look for drunk drivers, and since they had you pulled over anyway they did the whole license, registration, proof of insurance, seat belts, rear brake light, and anything else we can ticket you for checks. I still can't believe they actually closed off a section of 301 to do this. Anyways, my advice is to follow the traffic laws to a "T" when going through that area.

Does Lawtey have a chamber of commerce? You might want to drop them a line (or even to whatever tourist concerns are there) to let them know that their speed trap practices are being noted and is costing the town revenue that those speeding tickets may not be able to make up for.........
