Englewood, Colorado Speed Traps
US Highway 285 near Pearl Street
Westbound traffic is lasered while comeing down a hill that curves the to the right. Cop is hiding in a shaded alleyway on the right side several block from where you get hit. Speed limit is 35, but traffic routinely goes through at 45, and that is enough to get you nailed. Very effective trap as the speed limit has just dropped at the top of the hill.
104th and Livingston
Police car hides in strip mall parking lots and tickets cars doing as little as 5 mph over speed limit. when in doubt officer will pull over car in fast lane or with out of state plates. 104’th is 6 lanes wide but speed limit is only 35
West Oxford and Jason (between Broadway & Santa Fe)
Motorcycle speed trap of school zone crosswalk at bottom of a hill across wide and busy collector street. Watch out when school pedestrian traffic likely. Take the hill s-l-o-w!
Soutrthbound Sante Fe south of Evans
Just south of the city limits, the officers sit concealed on a city street next to Nu-Steel – hidden by a sound barrier and a metal fence. The road is 4 to 5 lanes wide, and the officers seem to cite for higher speeds than traffic indicates, well over the posted 45 mph. They prefer late evenings to midnight – and appear to stop the wrong car from time to time. (they presume that the car in the farthest (HOV) lane is the fastest)
Belleview east of Broadway
Police at the bottom of the hill in a small pull-off near the park on the north side of the street. Although the speed changes from 35 to 40 just before the hill, the officers claimed I was over the 35 limit instead of 40. I won in court!
