Officers run stationary radar aimed at vehicles coming into the city. Officers clock vehicles outside the city limits and then write the tickets for a violation inside the city.

Comment (5/2002): this is exactly what happened to me the officer was south of ashburn but was shining his radar up into the ashburn city limits. he wrote the ticket up reflecting that i was checked at mile marker 82, while he was just south of Rock House rd,which is slightly north of mile marker 80. I also noticed a patrolman at mile marker 82 when returning from my trip to florida. i guess they patrol 1.6 miles of I 75. BTW, the officer was courteous and professional, no problems with him personally, just with the ticket.

Comment (9/2002): I'm sure the city police would not be on the interstate for any other reason than for the safety of travellers. Just because their fines were raised to the maximum allowed by the state before they got their license to run radar on the Interstate really doesn't say much. I'm sure our state elected officials would be the first to see if the city is really promoting safety on the highways or providing revenue to the city. I have overheard their officers state with no real meaning I'm sure "We are the money makers for the city". I'm sure there are guidelines provided by the state to prevent any abuse by the cities which are allowed to run such a small amount of Interstate.

Comment (4/2003): Speeding is against the law. The laws are there to protect those that do not break them. In fact, is just as against the law to speed in a small town as it is a large one. Therefore, if you do not want to pay the fine, don't do the crime.

Comment (10/2003): I have been given a ticket at this same location. It was Atlanta race weekend and the officers were staked out at this spot. The speed limit drops at the city limits sign. Officers often sit just inside the city limits sign and clock "speeders" while they are in the higher limit zone outside the city. The also know most people comming from this area are from out of town and heading to the interstate. It is ironic that they talk about "breaking the law" when there is no residence or business interest in the area between the city limits sign and the interstate. If this is not a speedtrap, the why are they out their sitting. (I guess hiding from the real law breakers in town)

City cop sits just inside the city limits sign clocking people in the county and writing them up in the city. Speed limit drops from 55 to 45 or 35 at the city limit. There is about a mile strip between the city limit sign and the exit to get on I75. This trap is to get people heading to I75. There are no businesses or residences in this section meaning they have no reason to be there other than their speed trap

City police almost always sitting in I-75 medium with radar both ways. When you see the Asburn city limits signs on the Interstate SLOW DOWN!
