Ventura, California Speed Traps

I used to park next close to the chainlink fence under the pepper tree and snag both east and westbound speeders; day time or night time. The speed limit is 55 mph, but the ‘frequent flyers’ were often doing 70+mph. It was like shooting ducks in a barrel. Not a good road to be speeding on because shoulders are very limited. Since I retired, I don’t know if my successor uses the ‘cherry patch’ I showed him! Writing tickets is easier than crash reports!!

Air police spot southbound travelers and waiting cop at emma wood on-ramp recieves contact info and pulls motorists over in front of main street offramp.

CHP typically parks approximately 1/2 way down the easbound Kimball Rd. onramp to Hwy 126 against the sound wall. East bound 126 traffic cannot see the unit parked and with the radar or ladar on, by the time they appear in your mirror, it is too late. Very effective trap but if you stay 8 miles/hour or less over, they typically (but not always) will leave you alone.

Ventura PD will sit just beyond Petit hiding beside the Acocado orchards

Moto hides behind the Shell gas station looking for speeders and rolling stops turning Northbound Kimball and Westbound Telephone.
