Today, I turned on my scanner just to see how much, if any, traffic enforcement was going on in Lakeway.

As soon as I turned it on, I heard, “737 Traffic.” That means that a cop is pulling someone over for a traffic infraction. I continued to listen. “737 in the 600 block of RR 620, Texas (car license number).”

The dispatcher soon came back with the results. “737, Tag returns a 2000 Oldsmobile, expires October 2008, to (my Sister-in-Law’s name), clear, no 29.” I couldn’t believe it! She’s always had a heavy foot; but, I’ve always told her that this area is a real stickler for speeding infractions. The “clear, no 29″ part just means that she didn’t have any outstanding tickets, warrants, etc.

Anyway, she actually got away with only a warning this time. She was lucky. Most often, they’ll cite you for at least one infraction. When I talked to her later on the phone, she said, “Where’s that Speed Trap guy when you need him!”  :-)

Just another example of how much traffic enforcement goes on in Lakeway, TX. Be careful out there; and, be looking for me holding my sign. I’m really surprised how many folks see me and email me a short message of thanks, or post a comment in the forum. Thanks for the support!
