Things to avoid: It wouldn't affect you, but, for those coming from the
west, stay away from I-20 near Colorado City. There isn't a word for
what it is. It's not a speed trap, per se. They aren't looking for
speeders. They target out-of-state cars doing the speed limit, and then
ticket them for speeding, on the presumption that they'll pay the ticket
rather than come back for court. And, coming back for court does little
good, since they don't honor requests for discovery. (BTDT). 15 mph over
translates, with court costs, to $400-600.
Let's put it this way--the north side of Colorado City is a shithole,
abandoned buildings going to ruin, etc., but the courthouse is like a
ruby in a cowflop. It and its grounds are immaculate, and they get the
money to keep it that way from out-of-staters like you and me.
It's quicker, anyway, to go south on US 87 at Big Springs to San Angelo,
and then take one of the feeder roads to Austin, rather than go on I-20
to I-35 South.
Cheers.
