Reputation As A Speed Trap
Johnson has a reputation as a speed trap. The Johnson Police Department has several cars which are used to strictly enforce traffic laws and protect the citizens of Johnson. These cars are painted black and silver. During most days the police will have one car staged to control the speed along Main Drive (East and West) or Wilkerson (North and South). When driving through Johnson, one should be careful to observe the posted speed limit, and wear your seat belt.

Famous quotes containing the words reputation, speed and/or trap:
“I am sorry to say we whites have a sad reputation among many of the Polynesians. The natives of these islands are naturally of a kindly and hospitable temper, but there has been implanted among them an almost instinctive hate of the white man. They esteem us, with rare exceptions, such as some of the missionaries, the most barbarous, treacherous, irreligious, and devilish creatures on the earth.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
“The greatest felony in the news business today is to be behind, or to miss a big story. So speed and quantity substitute for thoroughness and quality, for accuracy and context. The pressure to compete, the fear somebody else will make the splash first, creates a frenzied environment in which a blizzard of information is presented and serious questions may not be raised.”
—Carl Bernstein (b. 1944)
“The little lifting helplessness, the queer
Whimper-whine; whose unridiculous
Lost softness softly makes a trap for us.
And makes a curse.”
—Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)
