Opelika, Alabama Speed Traps
6th St downtown where public library is
4-5 lane road that is 35mph & cops will park in bank or other parking lots clocking everyone. You literally need to ride your brakes & make other drivers mad that you’re trying to go so slow on such a wide-laned road.
I-85 at Andrews Rd exit, usually northbound
This is a multi- division trap including city, county, & state troopers. One car will shoot radar from atop the bridge at Andrews Rd over interstate while 3-6 others are lined up on northbound off-ramp waiting for word on which car to pull over next. I’ve seen 4 cops lined up with at least 3 already pulled drivers over along the way. Any time of day so 70mph or they got ya!
Samford Ave between Onion Bookstore and Grown Folks Bar
Cops back up against old Cabinet Shop 35 MPH Zone
West Point Parkway near Water Tower
If you are coming into Opelika on West Point Pkwy. from the Wal Mart Distribution area, the officers usually sit around the water tower area and clock you as you are coming around the corner.
