Many know, Waldo is one place to be aware of as it was one the most likely places to pick up a traffic ticket.
Cpl. Kenneth Smith, the interim chief recently resigned. Five of the department's officers had told the city council that Smith had imposed a "strict ticket quota," according to The Associated Press. But now, the traffic situation in Waldo may be changing.
Last week, the Waldo
city council voted to disband the town's police force.
In 2003, the AAA erected
billboards along Route 301 that warn motorists of the speed traps ahead. We long ago decided to take route 19 through Ocala National Forest. Much prettier drive.The grief of driving along US-301 still exists in Lawtey, Florida, about 19 miles north of Waldo along Route 301. AAA is erecting billboards warning of "speed traps".
Lawtey and Waldo are the only two communities in the United States that AAA erects billboards warning of speed traps.
