Horseshoe Bend, Idaho, about 18 miles north of Boise, is a super duper speed trap. Going north, you come down a long, long hill at 65 MPH and at the bottom of the hill you immediately hit a 15 MPH speed limit through Horseshoe Bend. The town's cop is waiting for you. He/she will ticket you every time for going a few miles per hour over the 15 limit. Not to worry, however, as they have a small traffic court right in the middle of town so you can conveniently pay your speeding ticket before going on your way. smile
