Bradenton, Florida Speed Traps

They sit at the bottom of the hill behind the trees in the median.

Radar set up on a regular basis on Honore north of Palomino Circle. This is the area leaving Mote Ranch where the road expands from 2 without a median to 4 lanes with a grassy/treed median strip. Speed limit is set at an unusually low 35 rather than a normal 45. An obvious attempt by Bradenton to force money from law abiding citizen’s pockets to their coffers. Cops sit just south of the median checking speed north and south bound.

On Hwy 70 at stoplight, ‘officers’ rush out of the bushes and get people for seatbelt violations, often 3-4 officers at a time running thru traffic like jackals in for the kill. Usually 2-3 times per week.

Policeman standing next to his car in the median shooting radar south toward the northbound cars.

Shocked I didn’t get pulled over. Hopefully this isn’t the start of speed cameras for tickets by mail in Florida

School zone. FHP & Manaee County marked & unmarked car & motorcycles. Normal speed limit is 55, 20 when school lights are on and they will get you for 21mph
