Ouray, Colorado Speed Traps
Highway 550 North of Ouray near Ridgeway reservoir, Mile 110
Cruiser sits on side of road with radar facing Northbound just after the beginning of passing lane. The road is single lane up until this point and often a single slow car will clog the highway and everybody tries to pass at this point, right into a radar trap. Office says lots of deer in area.

US Highway 550 near Just South of Town
I have spoken with Many people over the years who have been trapped here in this same place. I have seen a patrol car around that bend at All hours. I drive through frequently.
I am Very careful to obey the speed now that I am aware that it suddenly drops just prior to town. It is a beautiful drive and very easy to just enjoy the scenery. Many years ago I did get a ticket there and when I went back to appear in court at my scheduled time, the judge had, gone fishin’ !
I had been told not to worry, that it would not add points to my license and just pay it. I could not take any more time off work so… I did… and it Did add points. Be aware and go reallllll easy through that purty lil part of the country.
