Green Valley, Arizona Speed Traps

Motorcycle officers sit in dark spots and over the curbs in the shade with radar guns. Speed limit 30.

Police car sits just off the Continental just before de la Canoa and catches speeders coming downhill on Continental from the mountains or when they’ve built up speed for the uphill part of the road right after the trap.

de la Canoa dead-ends into Continental; there are no street lamps around and this intersection is very dark since it’s out of town on the way up to Medera Canyon. I was pulled over for failure to come to a full stop at the de la Canoa stop sign. The officer said he saw my front wheels continue to turn instead of stopping. In that darkness he could barely see my car and could never have seen my black-walled tires. Ritzy area and he pulled me over just because he didn’t recognize my car.
