Swamp Car Wash on SW 13th Street and 7th Ave.   Gainesville, Florida

They sit there all day where the speed reduces from 45 to 35 to 30 going South on 13th. They sit in the carwash with the laser out the window and there are also motorcycle cops. I watch them pull people all day long.

NW 39th Ave. / NW 6th St. intersection   Gainesville, Florida

Watch for GPD cops in school zone after you turn from NW 6th St. onto westbound NW 39th Ave. when school zone light is flashing. You can easily exceed 15 mph limit after you turn off NW 6th St., not realizing you're still in the school zone and then they've got you! Speeding fines are doubled! I was clocked at 28 mph and it cost me $294! I'm not advocating speeding in a school zone, but there's no way in advance to know it's still a school zone after you make the turn. It's a definite speed trap designed to collect fines rather than protect anyone!

I-75 Just before Paynes Prarie   Gainesville, Florida

Just before Paynes Prarie on 1-75, there is almost always a cop hidden behind trees on the left side. It is an excellent hiding spot for them because you can't see them at all until you just drive by them

S.W. 35th Place   Gainesville, Florida

A motorcycle cop sits behind the bushes after the first curve going east on S.W. 35th Place. This is the road just off 34th Street by the Kangaroo. The speed limit on this road is only 30 mph, so it's easy to get a huge ticket. Sometimes a whole slew of cops, motorcycles and otherwise, will be waiting for drivers through there. Be careful! Also, don't flash your lights at other drivers if you notice the speedtrap. Other unmarked cops are waiting for you to do that and will write you a bogus ticket based on an unsupportive statute. My husband got a ticket on this road for this "offense."
