Coral Gables, Florida Speed Traps
Alhambra Boulevard near LeJune Road
West bound Alhambra Blvd, right past the traffic light at LeJune Rd. Gables Motormen will set up a RADAR gun either on the north side of the road or more likely right behind one of the big Banyan trees in the median. Theyre looking for folks who “goose”” the throttle in jumping thru the yellow light and shoot way over the posted 30mph limit. Getting past the traffic light will boost you maybe to 40 or 45 mph for just a second. It’s enough believe me. Gables cops have ZERO mercy for speeding tickets. It’s big $$$ revenue for new cop toys.”
Bird SW 40th St Road near SW 57th Red Road Avenue
The officers are parked at the first house on the right (on Bird, after the light)and catch people blowing the light or making a right turn onto Bird from SW 57th during a red light (NO turn on red Sign.)
South Alhambra Circle near Nervia Street
They like to pull over people who do not come to a full stop when making the right turn off of Alhambra Cir onto Nervia (towards the UM Publix). They usually have 4 police cars there at a time and a line of pulled over cars, so make a full stop. You can’t see them at the Stop Sign Line, so by the time you see them they are waving to you to pull over.
Santona Street near Nervia Street
This is not a speed trap but about twice a month Coral Gables PD pull over motorists for running a stop sign near Santona, Nervia, and S. Alhambra Circle right off of US 1. The stop sign is at a blind spot so they stay hidden and pull you over by sight. So don’t roll through that sign! If this post is not appropriate because it is not a speed trap, please let me know where else I can inform motorists of it._
Ponce de Leon Boulevard near Fluvia Avenue
