Grand Junction, Colorado Speed Traps
State Highway 50 near 5th Street Bridge
Beware…comming over the 5th Street bridge. With all the construction, this site is being monitored. The police presence is not consistant, which makes it ever harder to predict. It is only 1/2 a mile that the speed is reduced…take that 1/2 mile slow!
F Road near 28 Road
There is a motorcycle policeman that sits on the side street and points his radar gun at oncoming traffic. He probably tickets 5-6 motorists a day. It is real strong between 7:30am and 9am. Slow down. Its not worth it.
State Highway 340
Wait at bottom of hill for motorists heading towards town
Highway 340 across from Redlands Middle School
Mesa County Sherriff likes to park in the Church lot across from Redlands Middle School. He camps out there while the school zone (25mph) lights are on. Heading east on 340 it’s difficult to see him, especially with the morning sun in your eyes. Stay a couple of miles under the speed limit or else…
