Probably one of the worst Speed Traps in Colorado, if not the entire U.S. The department consist entirely of about a dozen Part time Academy gradutes who have been trained in nothing but traffic enforcement. The tickets they write is directly connected to their part-time pay. If you have any way of avoiding this highway through Alma, do so. If you have to travel through this town... SLOW DOWN and don't stop, the town makes enough money in ticket revenue.

The town of Alma is a speed trap that they are proud of .. The Marshall their gets his wages by the number of tickets that are written.. You have a town of approx. 100 people and there is never a time you won't find an officer running traffic through town .. Watch YOUR SPEED they have been know to write for 2-3 MPH over..
