Tampa, Florida Speed Traps

Speed limit 25mph. Motorcycle or pedestrian officer w/ ahnd held laser. Alerts uinits waiting out of line of site. Another ploy is unmarked pickup truck w/ officer lasing out of window, other units out of sight. 30mph will get you a ticket

There is a section in front of the Lake Magdalene church that is 40mph and the very next block goes up to 45 miles per hour. Unmarked cars and motorcycle sit in the center left turn lanes on fletcher or off the side street of the church and radar cars. You are driving along at the speed of everyone else and everyone gets hit. This happens a couple times each year. I have been hit there doing 5 miles over three times. It is confusing because the speed changes from one block to the next. Be careful

Taveling west on interbay blvd. is 45 M.P.H. until you get about a block from Manhattan which abruptly changes to 30 M.P.H. Cops sit across from Masterpacking or in their parking lot at night just waiting for you to go 30 1/2 M.P.H. I have nerver been pulled over, I just want to caution people to be aware of their speed and surroundings.

Just sitting there waiting for you to go by – facing Casey!

Going west on US 60 after the Memorial Hwy split as you go over the newly built overpass before Pelican Island the speed reduces to 35mph, then to 45mph as you come down the overpass towards the right usually you’ll see about fifteen to twenty motorcycle units waiting to tag drivers going over the limit.
