West Hills, California Speed Traps

Roscoe Blvd changes from a very-wide 4 lane road (plus 1 center lane and 2 parking lanes) to a very-narrow 2 lane road (plus 1 parking lane) immediately after Woodlake. It’s a perfect spot for trapping. Speed limit jumps down to 35MPH very quickly. Two motorcycle cops will always be positioned directly off Hillary Street aiming radar guns towards the East waiting for unsuspecting drivers traveling West. You won’t see the 35MPH signs until you crest the hill at Woodlake and if you don’t slow down immediately – it’s too late. The trap is set at least 3-4 days of the week during evening rush hour and in some cases during the day.

A patrol car will usually sit in the last driveway of El Camino High School, heading towards Burbank. Slow down in front of El Camino, or else!

Shoup has become a zero tolerance ST due to several hit and runs the cops(motorcycle)are always out with radar gunsusualy by the church parking lot It’s 35 mph 1 mile over and they get you

As you approach Valley Circle Boulevard from Roscoe Boulevard, the posted speed limit on Roscoe drops suddenly from 40 mph to 35 mph. Several motorcycle policemen wait in a cul de sac street across from the entrance to Orcutt Ranch to site motorists who do not drop their speed from 40 mph to 35 mph quickly enough.

On Victory between Woodlake & Platt LAPD Motorcycle hides in the shadows of trees between cars either on the north or south side of the street and writes lots of tickets.

This is not run every day, the more often it is run the more people learn where to slow down.
