Spring Valley, California Speed Traps

Sheriff waits for Speeders by sitting behind other cars in front of houses. Speed limit is 25 but easy to do 40 as its a long straight stretch.

West bound traffic on Broadway approaching Sweetwater Rd. A rise in the road hides the officer and your vehicle will be under the radar at the top of the hill at which point you will see the officer with radar gun in hand pointing it at you. Speed limit is 40mph along this stretch, but 4 lanes, a middle turning lane, little traffic, no turns to the right(parallels S.R. 94), traffic moves quickly here.

Officer positions himself at the bottom of hill (after a series of sharp curves). He uses radar although the accuracy and veracity of the speed is questionable. Almost always cites drivers at 41 – 46 mph in a 25mph zone. (I work at the court where his citations are located.)
