Atlanta, Georgia Speed Traps
Mareitta St @ Peachtree St
Apparently ALL turns at the intersection of Peachtree St and Marietta St. This includes left turns and right turns . . . regardless of direction, time of day, signal, etc.. When I made an ILLEGAL (apparently) right turn on green I received a ticket from a motorcycle police officer hidden in a nearby pedestrian plaza – he clearly was lying in wait. The cost of the ticket was $192. Shortly after ticketing me he circled around to wait for his next unsuspecting victim.
I-75 South, inside I-285, after the Chattahoochee bridge.
When heading South on I-75, inside I-285, shortly after the bridge spanning the Chattahoochee river, and soon after the beginning of the Northside Drive / Paces Ferry Road exit… there is a small gravel turn off where the GSP likes to sit from time to time. In low-light conditions they are very hard to spot in that location.
It is visible on this map…

Corner of Cortland and Edgewood
Turning onto Edgwood from Courtland cops sit and waite to see if you turn on yellow.
Southbound turning from N Druid Hills to Clairmont
DeKalb Co. police lurk on Clairmont about 10 yards from intersection to tag “rolling stop” drivers at Stop sign. From their location they cannot see the white line where you are supposed to stop, but that doesn’t keep them from ticketing.
Metropolitan Parkway SW
Usually southbound as you approach Dill Ave from University Ave, there is a school speed zone (25mph) that is strictly enforced by an APD motorcycle cop. Beware.
