Monrovia, California Speed Traps
On Evergreen, after I-210 Buena Vista east exit and Red Light
Motorcycle cop sits on side street waiting for cars using the east bound Buena Vista exit which dumps you onto the access road, Evergreen, approximately 4 blocks to Red Light (Buena Vista) using radar most every afternoon rush area.
Literally lines up cars on Buena Vista south bound in groups!
South bound on Mountain at Huntington Dr. cross street
Not a textbook Speed Trap, but trap nevertheless. Drivers exiting Arco AMPM gas station onto Mountain Ave southbound will be cited for non-permitted left hand turn. Monrovia PD waits across the street and tickets all infractions. Signage displaying No Left Turn is poor and not obvious.
Monrovia PD enforcement operates during nighttime hours for squad car concealment and minimal traffic making drivers believe exiting left is safe and legal.
This enforcement action is revenue driven. If public safety is truly an issue, then enforcement would be during peak or moderate traffic flows, not late at night.
Myrtle & Walnut & Chestnut
going northbound on Myrtle from Huntington Dr. goes from 40mph to 25mph. between walnut and chestnut. motorcycle cop is hiding.
Magnolia and Foothill
Motorcyle morning man. Eats donuts at bodyshop by brass elephant and then works foothill blvd from myrtle to fifth ave.
Duarte Road just west of Myrtle, both east and west bound.
School zone, especially bad in morning between 7:10 and 7:45 am. Speed drops from 40 to 25 mph and cops line up waiting for speeders. Will ticket the moment your tires cross over posted school zone sign. Most mornings Monday – Friday.
