Daly City, California Speed Traps

Cop on motorcycle hides behind the ‘Daly City’ sign, on the south side, and uses radar, usually during morning and afternoon hours. This sign is located where Lake Merced blvd. and John Muir Dr meet. The speed drops from 40 to 30 very quickly. From John Daly its only 30mph, but you reach 40 easily, and the sign is visible from the fire station, which is where the cop is at.

As you head north or south, the speed limit of 30 is ridiculously low. Normal flow of traffic is about 40 MPH. The bike cop is either in the driveway at the firehouse catching southbound drivers coming from SF into Westlake or he is at the Daly City city limits sign in the middle of the roadway right by Lake Merced and will use radar on you if you are heading northbound into SF. I drive this everyday and see the bike cop there about 25% of the time. Hardly anyway northbound into SF stays at 30 because the minute you cross into SF it is a 40 mph zone. I see him pull over cars virtually every 5 minutes.

CHP sits on over pass or on the shoulder of the on ramp just out of site.
one is radaring and several units are standing by to swoop in!
Mostly during commute hours. I have seen them nail up to 5 cars at once.

Daly City cops use radar/lidar to check speeds of cars travelling northbound 35 from the Highway 1 junction down to Westmoor. Speed limit is 55mph and reduces to 50 near Westmoor Exit. Big money maker for the city.
