Urbandale, Iowa Speed Traps
Meridith West of the interstate
West of the interstate overpass is 35mpg and even with it going thru the country with corn fields on one side and bean fields on the other…. One officer appears to be dedicated to this street and all the side streets west to the city limits.
Douglas Avenue near 77th Street
Cops love to sit in this area and nail people as they tend to increase their speed before the limit goes up from 30mph to 45mph, going westbound on Douglas.

Douglas Avenue near Fire Station
Speed Limit is 25. Police sit in front of Fire Station across from First American Bank. Usually at dusk so you have to look to see them. Checking traffic going both ways.
Douglas Avenue near 67th Street
There is an empty parking lot on 67th and Douglas and I regularly see a police cruiser sitting there.
Hickman Road
Hickman road, between 86th st and Merle hay road has several spots that cops will hide in, the 35 mph speed limit is very strictly enforced and even more so during drunken driving hours (1am-3am) Watch it
