Gilbert, Arizona Speed Traps

On the north bound lane there is a small wall roughly 20 yards before the RailRoad tracks. Generally there is one motorcop there during the morning traffic. Occasionally two. I have also seen a squad car there (all white). When you pass them, if they get you, there is plenty of parking lot immediately after the tracks, which is why I think they like this location. Staying in the far left lane will give you the earliest visibility of their presence. I see them there about 33% of the time between 7:30am and 8:30am.

During the morning "rush hour" at least two motorcycle officers work this stretch of Pecos Road between S. Higley Road and Val Vista. Laser is the enforcement tool of choice. Speed limit is 45, but it’s a three-lane, freshly paved (westbound) street and those accelerating from Higley towards Val Vista usually exceed that by five to fifteen miles per hour. Motor officers usually wait on the north side of the road in a private driveway approximately 1/4 mile west of Higley. They’ve previously used radar at this site, but have recently upgraded to laser units. During a one hour period at least six cars (per motor unit) were cited and the speed trap continues for three to four hours (early am through approximately ten am).
