15mph school zone, two or three Bartow police sitting outside the Bartow High parking lot, one on radar, the others busting people, usually students and parents from the school but sometimes people passing through, they're quite aggressive about it. They also probably work Broadway by the school, which is 4 lane, 15mph school zone, but I don't know, don't usually go that way.

Going south on Highway 17 from Winter Haven approaching Bartow, the speed limit drops from 65 to 55 to 45 in less than 500 yards. Bartow police are very happy to let you know that you missed one of the speed limit signs. They hang out just north of the Highway 60 intersection in the shadows of the buildings there and are impossible to see.
