Whittier, California Speed Traps
State Highway 605 near Telegraph Rd. Turnpike
Cop just sits on the overpass, out of sight of others. When he see’s you roll past the red light he entraps you as you enter the freeway with nowhere to go but into his clutches.
Mulberry Street near Colima Road
CHP likes to sit on the north side of Mulberry travelling westbound between Colima and Mills. He sits at the end of a blind curve, normally just on the other side of parked cars. He gets you with the radar on the back deck of his cruiser. Speed limit is 40, and it’s coming down a hill. Very easy to exceed.
Workman Mill Avenue near Crossroad Parkway
Enforced primarily by CHP Officers. Officer hides by the bushes just outside the "Swiss Park" restaurant.
Colima Road near Lambert Road
Two motorcycle officers with Radar. Stopped 5 vehicles at one time. I was the 5th and the officer told me he couldn’t tell my speed so he had to estimate that I was doing 59 as was the first driver. I thought speed limit was 45 and turns out to be 35. Very slow for the area.
