Brooksville, Florida Speed Traps

Plain cars sit catching speeders leaving school area on other side of Sunshine Blvd, about a quarter mile west of Sunshine Blvd.

FHP works a speed trap at Exit 301 (SR 50/US 98/Cortez Blvd) for northbound traffic on I-75. The FHP will use an aircraft to spot northbound vehicles on I-75 that appear to be exceeding the 70 mph speed limit, and will radio a description of the vehicle to FHP patrol cars that stack up along the northbound entrance ramp onto I-75 from Cortez Blvd. The FHP cars use a "Wolf Pack" set up with 4 or 5 marked and/or unmarked cars.

As the target vehicle goes over the I-75 overpass over Cortez Blvd, one of the line of FHP vehicles will enter I-75 northbound, and pull the victim vehicle over after checking its speed.

As you approach I-75 from the West on Cortez Blvd (also known as SR 50/US 98), the speed limit is 60 mph most of the 15 miles from Brooksville. About 1/2 mi WEST of the intersection of I-75/Cortez Blvd, the speed limit drops to 55 mph, and then approximately 100 yds later drops again to 45 mph about 1/4 from I-75.

Just after the speed limit drops to 45 mph, you come over a blind hill in front of the Burger King, and there will be an FHP car in the median or in the parking lot of the gas station next to the Burger King, using his radar to check vehicles coming over the blind hill in the 45 mph zone.

West of 50 and 98, east of 41. they patrol this streach all the time. mostly they will clock you coming the other way.on the move
