Yuma, Arizona Speed Traps

Speed limit changes from 75 to 65 mph. I was doing 65 according to my GPS and some guy passes me doing about 67, and HE got NAILED!

Limits are generous in AZ, but strictly enforced. The state is desperate for cash and photo radar has been quashed, so live bait pays the penalty.

I’ve never been thru that stretch without at least one car stopped by Hwy Patrol.

Arizona has 200 automatic photo radar speed traps with tickets mailed out by Redflex, who gets 1/2 the fine. State got over $26 million in fines last year from these automatic speed traps. Routinely photo radar van is near MP 16 Eastbound. One is often on I-8 Westbound near MP 15 at the bottom of the Telegraph Pass down grade.

Photo enforcement. from state line to photo enforcement — 1500 feet. 65 mph sign at P/E. Entering at 70 mph speed limit in CA changes to 65 mph in AZ.

There are no enforcement signs in place. Many motorists have paid fines of up to $181.50. U can fight this in court. Take pictures of site. AZ and Redflex have been committing fraud by collecting these fines. If u were caught and paid, u can fight it in superior court. Enjoy.

Any point thru Yuma, north or southbound. More pull-overs during daytime hours than night as I have witnessed but wouldn’t chance it either way. I have lived here for 2 years now and never had a problem until last 6 months. Pulled over twice and so have many, many friends and associates lately. Crackdown on speeding I guess so don’t even be tempted to speed thru Yuma anymore. I live in the foothills 8 miles from town and I drive I-8 daily. Lately, there is rarely a day that goes by that I don’t see At least one motorist pulled over, to and from work.
