Not really a "speed trap", however, if you run a red light, you automatically trigger a few high resolution cameras that take photos of you and the front and rear of your car. Ticket is $75, which you receive in the mail.

UCCS police are watching this stretch of road, writing tickets for speed, weaving, following to close. This is an every day all day long patrol. Speed limit is 40MPH but most do 50 to 55 in this area. Most people don’t think they can write them, but they are state police officers that can & will stop you. Just be careful in this area.

There are several places for the police to patrol this area, from the hotel parking lot, the church parking lot or a couple of strip malls. The speed limit is 30 mph; this is a multi-lane divided street in a commercially zoned area. Between my wife and myself, we’ve had 3 tickets there in the last two years. We now avoid driving on this street.
