Oceanside, California Speed Traps

Very often police officer on a motorcycle hiding at the service road will aim his radar at motorists who go down the hill on 76 East. Tell you the truth I have never seen him pull anybody over.

Vista Way runs next to Highway 78. The speed limit changes for no apparent reason.

Typically, an Oceanside patrol officer hides behind shrubbery at the bottom of the hill at Fire Mountain and Avocado yhen jumps out, does a quick draw with a hand-held laser unit and declares the vehicle exceeding the speed limit when driver stops at the stop sign. Challenges to this practice have determined that the laser is not calibrated and not properly used.

Vista Way from El Camino to College Blvd changes speed limits from 45 to 40 for no apparant reason.

Three times now getting on the 5 South at Cassidy I have gotten pulled over by a CHP motorcycle before I make it to the Carlsbad Village Dr. exit. They are looking for Seatbelts so buckle up.
