Arvada, Colorado Speed Traps

State Patrol Motorcycle Officer hidden behind bushes pegging Northbound traffic.

This trap is at the bottom of a very steep hill. The limit changes to 35mph at the intersection but is 45mph at the top of the hill. One tends to increase speed going down this hill even if one is attempting to follow the speed limit.

On I-70 at Federal Ave ramp or right after it. You can’t see the cop because his hiding somewhere. Sometimes uses unmarked car. No warnings, always tickets. Uses Radar on Ka or K band. The speed limit is 55 there, gives tickets for 5+ miles more.

An officer sits in the parking lot of the Saint Joan of Arc church in an unmarked car but wearing a uniform. The speed limit there has been changed from 45mph. to 35mph. This is just west of Ward Road. I couldn’t see his uniform very well. Maybe it’s the KGB. He’s in an unmarked car.

Usually motorcycle officers sit at the corner on the opposite side of the western dirt parking lot of the sports complex. The speed is now 40 and used to be 45mph. It’s easy to go up to 45 by accident while travelling eastbound on 58th Ave. The speed limit should be 45 but the citizenry as a whole is not consulted at all on these issues.
