Fort Myers, Florida Speed Traps

Sheriff’s deputy on motorcycle sits in entry drive to Eagle Ridge Lakes at intersection with Eagle Ridge Dr. and American Colony Blvd. Typically they set up in the morning to catch drivers coming out of Eagle Ridge subdivision and Georgian Bay (Audubon Cove apts.) complex on their morning drive to work. Shrubs planted on the west side of Eagle Ridge Dr. block the northbound view of the trap until it’s too late. Speed limit on Eagle Ridge Dr. was 45mph for years but was reduced to 30 a few years ago. It’s hard to go 30 mph on this road and they know this. It’s a great revenue source for Lee County Sheriff’s office.

motorcycle cops in pack of 3 or 4 walks to edge of road and flags you down after buddy tells him speed. tfaffic goes from 45mph to 35mph in a short merger of 3 lanes to 2

Cops are all over the place on Veronica S. Shoemaker, between Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd and Winkler Ave. Do not roll the stop signs, they’re sitting on the perpendicular roads, ready to catch you. They catch the speeders by parking in the medians.

The speed limit is only 45mph – way too low for a stretch of road with no houses on it and few businesses. This is a typical case of cops taking advantage of a speed limit that’s too low and stop signs that shouldn’t be there.

Fort Myers police park inbetween a guardrail opening by a retention pond. Dark car – hard to see. They are lasering cars heading south and issuing citations. This is within the city limits of Fort Myers just a mile or so before it goes back to Lee Co.
