Washington, District of Columbia Speed Traps

This unmanned trap has recently (Oct. ’11) been added to the north side of a utility module that is on the ground on the NE corner of Branch Ave. SE and U St. SE. It cannot be seen on approach by the north-bound traffic on Branch Ave., who are its targets. North-bound Branch Ave. between Alabama and Pennsylvania Avenues is a half-mile long downhill stretch, making it very easy to exceed the posted limit of 25 mph. The trap is at roughly the half-way point between these two avenues. Beware!

Unmanned radar – lines in the road. 4 lane highway, 35 mph limit.

Unmarked car or SUV looks like it’s sitting on the curb just under the sign that flashes how fast you are driving down Mass. Ave. Utility pole sits behind vehicle as you approach, don’t see vehicle until you are right on it. Vehicle has camera mounted on front bumper and is there some mornings and always during P.M. rush. 30 mph zone going downhill.
