I think Starke is one of the bigger towns between Hogtown and Jacksonville (going up the 301).  Now, Raiford is small. 


The one that was always a ball-buster was Lawtey, in between Stark and Jacksonville (population was around 600 when I was living up there).  There was some cop there who set up a speed trap on 301 that would have made Roscoe P. Coltrane and Boss Hogg proud.  He had the world record for longest-serving police chief (52 years, no joke) before they finally got rid of him.


It was so bad that AAA issued a warning to its members to avoid Lawtey as a speed trap (they had also labeled Waldo and Hampton to the south of Starke as speed traps).
