Long Beach, California Speed Traps

Loynes Dr is between Studebaker Road and Pacific Coast Highway. It has a lot of big bumps where the pavement has buckled from earthquakes, I guess. Its also curvy so you loose control of the car when your going to fast, but its fun. Miles per hour I think is 30, which is too slow, I think

West bound traffic between cross streets Bellflower and Clark @ 1/4 mile past Bellflower Cop parks just East of The Wardlow Park.

On the westbound side just past where the toll booth was, police hide off to the right in a wide area adjecent to a fence. As the road narrows from 3 lanes down to 2 the police are looking to trap the drivers looking to make one more pass as the road narrows.

Motor officers, usually two, sit on Keynote and monitor North-South traffic. Studebaker is two lanes going each way and there is a service road on each side. People are anxious to get home from work and the road easily handles 50+ mph. The posted limit is 40 mph, which seems slow to the drivers. I have seen this site used as a training site, with the trainee following the experienced officer. About eight officers participated and made for quite a sight.

Officer sits on side street and monitors traffic on Diagonal between Woodruff and Wardlow. Los Coyotes is wide and has little cross traffic so the tendency is to travel faster than the posted (35 or 40 mph) speed. I have only seen this one time and I was surprised as I travel this route every day to work. He was hard to spot and I suspect he catches his limit (quota) early.
