Sepulveda Boulevard near State Highway 405

Los Angeles, CaliforniaMar 03, 20060 Comments

The "fast" part of Sepulveda, between Ventura blvd and Wilshire, is nearly ALL a speed trap. The posted speed limits are more than 5MPH below the 85th Percentile (critical) speed. I have seen the surveys and this is confirmed. The police routinely set up radar at the 405 entrance/exit near the Getty on a hidden turn. Any ticket given there WILL NOT STAND UP IN COURT. I have beat 4 of them. This road is a speed trap.

11am to 3pm just before school zone when no children are present.

La Cienega Blvd/Rodeo Drive Street

Although not a speed trap, police officers are constantly present and ready to ticket those individuals traveling West on Rodeo Drive wishing to make a right turn on to La Cienega Blvd. Rodeo Drive is usually backed up 3 blocks so people tend to make their left turns early, traveling in the center turn lane. A motorcycle cop is usually hiding and will then walk out and have the cars performing the moving violation pull into a plaza at the corner and get ticketed. BEWARE.

These guys will clock you mostly going eastbound on Chavez Ave. just go at a safe speed and you’ll be ok.

Riverside Drive near Glendale Boulevard

Los Angeles, CaliforniaAug 17, 20050 Comments

Several cops using both motorcycles and squad cars will corral drivers who elect to use Riverside Drive as an alternate route to Interstate 5 throught the Los Feliz-Silver Lake area. The posted speed limit is 35MPH — a ridiculously low limit for this straight, non-residential, 5-lane boulevard. It is a classic shake-down, especially well-organized, and the cops are particularly viscious. Be aware.

This is one of those situations that explain why so many law-abiding LA citizens have grown to despise their police department.
