Tucson, Arizona Speed Traps

Motorcycle cop sits on a side street, Cowhead Saddle, just south of the shopping center on the East side of Houghton. North bound traffic is coming down a hill there.

Motorcycle cops set up on the east side of Campbell using LiDAR to pick off speeders. In the hot months, they’re usually just seen in the mornings.

2-3 times a month, up to 6 ( yes 6! ) TPD motorcycle officers sit at Drexel & Houghton, also Poorman & Bilby and “in mass” pull over people leaving for work ( 6:30-8:30am ) onto Houghton because it is a large working community ( not retired ) but will give all sorts of interesting tickets including “leader of the pack” even if you are not speeding. In May 2018 we observed 3 days in a row 6 TPD motorcycle officers each day because of the massive revenue they were generating. Even vendors are warned coming in to the neighborhood, folks this is not going to stop so leave early/leave late or avoid.
