Speed limit drops heading north (towards hazleton) on 93 immediately after crossing the bridge into town from 55 to 35, both local and state cops sit in the Texaco parking lot right after the bridge to nab you. Heading south (from hazleton), the speed limit of 35 going downhill is ridiculous, but you can get caught anywhere in town along this stretch, especially at the bottom of the hill, where it curves east. Though the entire town of Beaver Meadows is known among locals of the hazleton area to be a trap, many still end up getting tickets here every day.

Comment (5/2005): This is true but they run vascar and clocking devices....only state police use radar in PA. Municipal PD are not allowed by state law to use radar

Comment (7/2004): I agree but there is NO bridge anywhere.
