Atlanta, Georgia Speed Traps

Atlanta City Police are using laser to catch people exiting at interstate speed 55 mph to unwarned change to 35mph at the end of the flyover to central avenue. When you see the speed limit sign it to late to reduce speed. Hours of exploitation are 4:30 AM till 7:00am or daylight. Note speed limit sign is only on one side of the road (right) thus your view will be block by truck and buses if you travel in the left lane.

There was a nest of Ga State Patrol enforcers located on I-20 Eastbound just east of the Downtown Connector (I-75/85). Clocked me with laser doing 81 in a 55, and his buddies just ahead of us pulled over several other drivers. Traffic was moderate and most other drivers were doing 75-80mph. Was last day of the month so they may have been trying to make their quota.

When you take a right off the Cumberland Blvd exit (75N) and come around the curve back to the left, he’s sitting int the median about a half mile down. You don’t see him until he’s alredy got you. Posted speed limit is 35mph, but you naturally go much faster as it’s a slight downhill and 2 lanes of extremely light traffic each direction.

They are are on both sides of the highway. You must contend with Ga State Patrol and College Park Police. Late night you will get pulled over going 65 or above, but other times of day it is above 80. The speed limit on I-85S increases to 65 mph in less than two miles from airport area.

GSP’s love the HUGE chunk of pavement that seperates the off-ramp to North Druid Hills and I-85. They’re usually there in the hours of 9:30-11:30
