Irvine, California Speed Traps
Bridge Road near Stanford Court
This corner is a breeding ground for IPD for stop sign violations. Failure to yield for pedestrians and rolling stops tickets being issued are commonplace. There is a line of motorcycle cops that will wait on the corner in plain view (under the shade of a tree) catching one motorist to the next.
Portola Parkway near Sand Canyon Road
Portola Parkway, west of Sand Canyon there is occasionally road construction, speed limit is normally 60+, sometimes it is temporarily marked 25-50 due to construction, even with no construction traffic or personnel present. There is sporadic motorcycle cop radar enforcement.
Harvard Avenue near California Drive
There is a short section of Harvard — maybe 100 yards on either side of California Ave. — that is 25 MPH (posted as a "Senior Citizen Zone"). It is 45 MPH on either side of this zone. Enforcement is normally nonexistent, but recently I have seen a motorcycle cop stationed there, pulling people over.
Jamboree Boulevard near Walnut Avenue
North bound Jamboree, after Walnut/Jamboree and Toll Road split…Motorcyle cop sits under the overpass of Jamboree (in the shade), speed limit is 60MPH going downhill, most people are doing 70MPH. He is almost at the very beginning of the 243 toll Road…Before you know, he has you! He got me! So, from a distance, if u see an object under the Jamboree overpass (in the shade), it’s him! He is there 1-2 days/week.
