Palo Alto, California Speed Traps

1 cop with a gun, standing by the roadside, then about 4 cop cars approximately 50 yards down the road. My detector never beeped; the ticket has a "2" written in the radar box. The cop who stopped me was not the one with the gun; she walked out in the middle of the street into oncoming traffic, with no stop sign and *held out her hand* to stop me. When I asked to see the gun that was used to accuse me of speeding (this is a major commuter thoroughfare), she said it had already been cleared, so I was denied seeing any evidence of the charge of speeding, and there were many cars around me going similar speed. The cop who walked out in front of me in the middle of traffic endangered her life, mine, and the drivers’ lives around me.

Speed trap on Deer Creek Rd. in between Page Mill and Arastradero. House stables located on this street and they have placed pilon cones in street. Posted speed limit is 35mph, but when you get going down hill it’s easy to get going over the limit. Motorcycle cops sits at bottom of hill in driveway to different parkign lots. He does hide behind bushes sometmes so hard to see.

Police car hangs out just 0.1 to 0.2 miles east of 280, right by the first traffic light.

Speed limit is posted an outrageous 25 MPH. Most travel between 40-50 MPH on this road. Watch out- they come from a driveway near the light at Carlson Road. They use Instant On. Word to the wise- they ticket for 26 MPH. Be careful. I’ve been nailed here once. I live nearby, and almost every day, I hear consistent police sirens between 4PM and 10PM.

Everyone goes 45 mph and it’s posted much lower. Watch out!
