Going into Childersburg on U.S.280 East, the speed limit drops from 65 to 45 just past the Coosa River bridge at the city limit sign. At most times you will see them sitting there waiting for the unsuspecting traveller to fail to slow down in time. 45 mph. is too slow for a 5 lane highway. Night times, they cleanup here.

Comment (11/2003): The Childersburg area enforcement has slowed down a lot due to related firings of officers and officials. You should still watch your speed, but enforcement is waaaay down.
