Iowa Street near Gisler Crossing   Costa Mesa, California

Traveling West on Gisler, make a right turn on Iowa. Iowa goes roughly North and then doglegs to the left through a condo community. Iowa in this location is a narrow, two lane street. High density parking along Iowa street for close baseball/soccer and condo community, children often present. Motorbike and patrol cars hide inbetween driveways of the condo community, fairly trapping speeds in excess of posted 25mph for AM and PM rush hours. Interesting there are rarely speed traps for residential community further North on Iowa Street after first stop sign where motorists speed up well over posted 25mph and childern still are present playing in front yards.

Bear Street near South of 405 crossover   Costa Mesa, California

Motors and cars hide in the Park across from TBN and also in the driveway on the same side as TBN, just further down. The speed limit is 40 mph, but it is a long downhill stretch from South Coast Plaza over the 405 overpass. Most people are going 50+ downhill. ALWAYS do 40, then no problem!

Harbor & Adams   Costa Mesa, California

On the Corner of Harbor and Adams; by Orange coast College, they installed a red light cam. The camera tends to be a little edgy if you even cross the intersection a second later, so be on the lookout when the yellow light turns red.

55-N Freeway Between the 405-N Interchange and Baker Exit   Costa Mesa, California

Traveling Northbound on the 55 freeway just past the 405North interchange, there is a small dirt stop on the side of the freeway. I have never been pulled over there...but have seen CHP there many times when traveling late at night. I have seen them also during the day but at night its harder to see.
