Speed Traps in The Colony, Texas

Standridge Road   The Colony, Texas

To avoid traffic on 121 and Main St. a lot of people are running Standridge to Ridgepoint and then to Main Street. Towards the end of every month the cops will sit and get you for running stop signs and speeding. My ticket was for 36 in a 30 heading down a hill. No car is that accurate that 6 miles over should be ever questioned. I have spoken with several cops, including one in The Colony, that have told me that unless you are running at least 10 miles over the majority of cops will never stop you.

Paige Road near State Highway 121   The Colony, Texas

After turning into The Colony from Hwy 121, the road narrows to one lane in each direction for construction. The speed limit is dropped down to 25 MPH for the entire ride north. My car can do 25 without touching the gas. If there are workers anywhere on the stretch, you can get tagged for 'workers present' which means you can't take defensive driving nor can you go for a deferal - it is either pay or try your luck with the judge. I was stuck behind a person who couldn't read the street signs and stopped at every intersection (while doing 15 - 20 between each street). When they finally started a turn, I gassed it to get away from them and ran into Mr. Copper. The lights went on, and I was tagged with 36 in a 25. No real discussion from the officer, he just took my license and went back to write a ticket. Even though the workers were over 1/2 mile away, he gave me a ticket (with no fee schedule) stating workers were present and said that I could go for deferrment when I called the city. When I called the city, they said, no way, pay up or else. I would avoid that area at all costs (or pay the $258 fee).

Windhaven Parkway near Plano Parkway   The Colony, Texas

As you head westbound on Windhaven, two lanes each way, toward Plano Parkway, the last quarter mile is a steep slope downward to the stop light. It is posted 40 MPH before the slope, but you can coast to 55 easily if you don't ride the brake the whole way down the hill. The Colony PD sits in the median past the overpass where you can't see them until it's too late.

Lake Highlands Drive near Main Street   The Colony, Texas

Turning west off of Main Street onto Lake Highlands, the speed limit drops from 45 (Main St.) to 20 mph. Any of these streets: Lake Park, Lakeland, N. Shore, Lakecrest, Horseshoe, Lakeview, W. Shore, are under this speed limit. The officer who stopped me (only got a warning) explained that since there are no sidewalks in this Northwest corner of The Colony, the speed limit is only 20. There are other parts in the north part of The Colony subject to 20 mph. Watch for the no sidewalk areas.

Morning Star Road near State Highway 121   The Colony, Texas

Coming off highway 121 on to Morning Star, the road reduces from 2 lanes to 1. The cops are coming the other direction and the speed limit is set absurdly low at 30 MPH, you are legally allowed to ride your bicycle faster than that past the cars on that road! Allowed a van to pass me from the second lane as the road narrowed to 1 lane and when the cop crested on the other side, he u-turned and pulled me over instead of the actual culprit (the van)! Said I was going 15 MPH over the limit, but I was actually only going 2-3 MPH over the 30 MPH! Totally ridiculous. If their speed detection equipment is that poorly calibrated or inaccurate or if it is a training issue they need to address with their officers, I am not sure, but they need to do something to correct this ASAP! I would suggest driving about 15-20 MPH in that area to allow enough cushion for the inaccurate readings. I also plan on informing the chamber of commerce there about this. We were spending nearly $3,000/month on goods and services in that town and because of their error, they got $100, but lost $36,000/year for their businesses. Does that make any economic sense? We are now taking our business to a more responsible town, Frisco.
