Cocoa Beach, Florida Speed Traps

Road’s in the middle of a jog to the left at that stoplight. There’s an Amoco station on the right, not open at night so it’s dark, you’re watching the road because of the curve.. and there are airport-hotel shuttle vans parked about the station further blocking your view as well. Two cars, almost always green & whites (BCSD) sit between the outsidemost pumps and the highway. Only late at night / early AM until morning traffic starts up and they move to other locations. You’ve just crept through Cocoa Beach at 35 mph & Cape Canaveral at 45 mph, very light traffic at night always, the Beachline / SR 528 is in sight so you’re ready to roll. Don’t. You’re just rolling into more speed traps. That entire stretch of road is one gigantic speed trap until you get west of the SR 524 / Industry Road exit, where the speed limit finally jumps from 55 to 70 mph. More on this stretch of SR 528 / Beachline under Cocoa.

Heading eastbound on Florida-520, just as you enter Coca Beach, the speed limit goes from 50MPH to 35MPH. Police sit on southbound side of street, nearly invisible right in front of the Florida Seafood restaurant. Without a radar detector, you don’t stand a chance. They have you recorded just as you see them. Probably the most lucrative speed trap around.

The trap is in the old, abandoned blue and white gas station between N. 4th St and the point where A1A splits into separate north and south one-way roads. Cocoa Beach PD is usually sitting there in the dark parking lot waiting for Northbound cars_

both 13 th street North and South. The officers sit off the side and run radar at all times of the day. I know I used to be an officer there.

Any time of day is risky to speed on 528 between merritt island and cocoa Beach , However at night is the worst time of the day to speed and especially towords the end of the month… I have used this route 8 months now about the 24th of the month till the first it is heavilly patrolled speed goes from 35 mph at cocoa beach to 50mph and at the light in front of the hospital down to 45
