Tampa, Florida Speed Traps

Came across the HF bridge about a week ago and there must have been 10-15 cop cars at the East side of the bridge. Either the biggest coffee clatch or they were just waiting to nail anyone. For the most part the traffic across the bridge is pretty quick, and most of the time there aren’t cops hiding out to get folks… but that was a sight to see. Enjoy the speed on the bridge … just make sure you slow down before the end of it.

They sit in the middle of the road checking East bound drivers, you can not see them til you make the bend in the road before Henderson Road. Hillsbough County Sherriff In either marked cars or Motorcycles

Under the Veterans Expressway overpass on Linebaugh Avenue in the Carrolwood area. Officers will usually hide under the overpass, right in the middle. Often seen during traffic hours, mornings from 7am to 9am, and in the evenings from 4pm to 6pm. Officers use Lidar and/or Radar. Speed limit is 45mph, area is flat and straight featuring high visibility, most travellers exceeding 55mph. Over 50mph will get you pulled over.

The officer waits in the parking lot with his car’s lights off, gunning drivers as they accelerate out of the stop sign. He/She also catches people who dont make a “complete stop”” at the stop sign. He is there usually three days per week.”

Grady Blvd. is posted at 25mph. There are subdivisions off the road and more than 200 pp. drive it daily to go to work as there is no other road to use. Police sit prior to after a curve and hide behind trees on motorcycles or standing. They never use a car. They wait and are usually two officers. One time they pulled me over and let me go because they had 3 cars already pulled over and I would have to wait to long. the second time I got pulled over resulted in a ticket. I know they are always there and try to drive 25 but is is impossible for me. I have seen in two years over 60 cars pulled over and given tickets. Way too many for a rural area.
