Plymouth, Pennsylvania Speed Traps

We really do not enforce speeding, however make sure your vehicle is registered and do not drive in a manner that will get our attention. And remember, we do not need lines in order to cite anyone for a speeding violation.

As you come into town going south and come to the second traffic light going down a slight hill. The cruiser sits in an
alley next to a drugstore named Roan’s on the right. If the light is green and you are coming down the hill to Bull Run intersection, the speed limit is 25 and she gets you for going over it. Also, when you are going north out of town at the same Bull Run intersection, there are two lanes. If you are in the left turning lane and go straight, you get to see those flashing lights and a ticket. I was a witness to both situations in one day as I was waiting for relatives in a parking lot at a funeral home and could view this happening. Several people coming to the same funeral commented on the spot by the drugstore as the favorite position to hide and giving tickets for the slightest infractions.

Plymouth Twp police local trap on Westbound direction, that is, heading into Norristown from I-476/Conshohocken area.

Speed limit is 35 or 40 on Ridge Pike but drops to 25 immediately west (past) Belvoir Road as you cross over the railroad and turnpike bridges. That is also the start of a downhill incline so you kinda naturally pick up some speed anyway. The VASCAR lines are in front of the Armen Auto Dealer.

That Belvoir Road intersection is a T where Belvoir intersects from the right. A self-storage business and an auto repair business are on the opposite corners of Belvoir.

Have seen them sitting in the driveway of the Armen Auto Dealer – mostly hidden by shrubs – and in the lot next to the gas station slightly ahead near the intersection of Fairfield Road. (the old fruit/vegetable vendor business)

The Plymouth Twp/Norristown Boro line is further down Ridge Pike near the sports bar and Shell gas station, so there is plenty of Twp area left to hunt you down, especially considering there is a traffic signal at the intersection of Conshohocken State Road. And it is easy to follow you up Fairfield Road if you’re turning toward the Black Horse Tavern.

Have also seen them on Ridge Pike east of Belvoir as you are passing the many auto dealer lots. That is, between I-476 and Belvoir Road.

There, they sit in the driveway of an auto lot, blending in quite well, even if using marked police units. The flow of speed along this part of Ridge Pike is often in excess of the limit.

Plymouth is a small town. Probably taking you 10 – 15 minutes to get from one end to the other. With VASCAR lines on only 2 other streets in Plymouth (W. Shawnee Ave and Washington Ave) Main Street is their preferred target. With VASCAR lines in 4-5 spots along this small stretch of road there is no "pattern" that they enforce traffic. Right now I can only think of the intersections of North. St and Main, Center Ave. and Main (the bank), in front of the Elementary School, in front of the "Family Dollar" shopping center, and at the corner of Eno St and main (the old furniture store.) Plymouth is not excessive with traffic enforcement but is known to teach students at the local high school an "expensive lesson."
