No joke, my co-worker just got a ticket there today at lunch. She was exiting hwy 6 going North and the motorcycle cop pulled her over for going 64 mph while exiting the bypass where the speed limit is 75mph. At this particular exit, there isn't a speed limit sign posted. He was so "kind" to tell her that all the feeder roads have a limit of 45mph. I call BS and she will be fighting this ticket. They LEO's need to be on the south bound side of Hwy 6 giving tickets to all the jack holes that are going 75mph+ in the construction zone in front of Post Oak Mall.
I came into CS yesterday from League City for a funeral, and the exact same thing happened to me in the exact same spot...took the Harvey exit going north, there were three motorcycle cops at the same location, and the officer that pulled me over apparently clocked me at 63 (He claimed that the speed limit is 50 though, not 45, and that's what's on my ticket). He was very courteous during the stop and said they were doing a "special enforcement area" at that location this week, and they were thus required to give citations.
I don't recall seeing a speed limit sign either, and I probably could have argued a couple of different things, but I just accepted the ticket, told him that despite the circumstances I really appreciate what he and his colleagues do, and just went on with my day. I'll do the defensive driving thing and forget that it ever happened here in a few weeks. There are greater tragedies in life, and I'll just pretend like the court costs I still have to pay will go toward something not completely useless.
