Pasadena, California Speed Traps
St. Johns Avenue
Just south of Huntington Memorial Hospital. Up to 5 motor units hide behind trees on the west side of the street as you’re headed south bound to W. Glenarm St. to enter the 110 Freeway. They are there mainly around 5 to 6 A.M. through rush hour and very difficult to see.
California Boulevard & El Molino Avenue
At the southwest corner of that intersection, a motorcycle cop sits in the driveway of my old apartment (634 E. California Blvd., almost at the corner of California & El Molino), waiting to catch eastbound morning drivers. He’s not there every day, but at least a few times a week and he gets a lot of people.
E. California Boulevard near S. Hill Avenue
Heading eastbound on California Avenue, east of CalTech before entering San Marino. Usually a pair of motorcycle cops, parked on the south side of California on S. Sierra Bonita Avenue or Landor Lane armed with LIDAR (very difficult to detect on my Passport 8500). They will often stand in the middle of the street pulling over often 2 vehicles at a time. 30 mph speed limit, but traffic here usually travels at 40 mph.
Monterey Road near Indiana Avenue
1/2 mile stretch of Monterey Road (eastbound) between Pasadena Ave and Orange Grove Ave. A police car waits hidden in a private drive way. How sad for the people of South Pas.
