Kissimmee, Florida Speed Traps

On Broadway Ave in downtown Kissimmee, the Kissimmee PD will hide on side streets and in parking lots. One officer runs the radar from a concealed location while the other officers jump out and wave the offending motorist down. Anything 6+ over the speed limit – expect a ticket! Speed limit is 25 mph, not the standard 30 mph on other streets.

Located on N bound side. One car, two cycles.

Will cite for 6-9 mph over speed, posted at 45 mph.

Officers stand in middle of road to stop traffic travelling at average speeds of 55 mph. This is asking for a lawsuit should you be rear ended by traffic behind you.

Turning East onto Neptune Road from Main Street in downtown Kissimmee once you go past the lake on your right hand side 2 to 3 officers on motorcycles hide under a tree with their motorcycles parked on the side walk. One stands there and radars you as the other 2-3 officers flag you down. speed limit is posted 40mph.

Osceola Officers set up a speed trap located under the Osceola Parkway bridge overpass. When traveling to Fl rt 535 from Hwy 192 you will travel around a “s”” type curve where you will see under a brige three officers’ one will operate the hand held laser gun while the others will flag down speeders. Do not challenge the crediblity or certification of the laser gun or the operator.”

Speed drops from fortyfive to 30 in an area that is in front of the fire house. They sit 4 or 5 officers and 2cycles unmanned, so as to deal with the high volume of people they catch (about 3 per 5 minutes!) Many are caught coming out of the mall area lot, and enter the street without seeing any sign posted!) The point seems to be, WHERE they clock you as speeding. The gun is pointed OUT at the cars as they slow, then a cop walks out and waves you over out of sight, and the trap continues. The funny thing is, there are apartments at the 45 mph area, and an old home that seems to be abandoned and tattered is the only home in the 35 mph strip. Kissimmee has been hurt by 9-11 and many people say that this may have a point in the over aggresive manner tickets are issued. There are ligitimate areas as well. Such as school zones. School safety is important, but they hide behind safety rhetoric to hide revenue. They ticket people going 5 to 7 miles an hour JUST BEFORE they enter the school zone (20 mph) Even tho school may be in and there is no traffic at the school BUT the police pulling over people. Many of the school zones in Kissimmee are main artery streets, and single lane as well, so all it would take is a truck ahead of you, blocking the blinking school zone sign from immediate view and HE and YOU will be flagged over, without ANY flashing flashing lights by the cops. They walk out and flag you over. And as usual, there will be 3 or 4 so as to pull over the multiple people pulled over. Typically, in Kissimmee, the police will pull over multiple people in obviously questionable areas.
