Morrison, Colorado Speed Traps

Car backs into the driveway to the Bandimere Race Track, mostly concealed behind an embankment, and aims south for NB traffic. Speed limit is 30 mph in Morrison whether or not posted, and/or unless posted otherwise. You expect the State speed limit of 50 mph applies here. Cost me $69 for 49/30.

There is an easment located by the entrance to Red Rocks, The Morrison police sit there and strictly enforce the 25 mph speed limit.
