Lawrenceville, Georgia Speed Traps

Traveling south on Old Norcross toward Sugarloaf Pkwy a motorcycle county police officer sits just south of Riverside Pkwy on Old Norcross heading toward Sugarloaf Pkwy. Traffic in this vacinity travels between 55 and 70 miles phr. The posted speed limit is 45mph. Don’t follow traffic! Pay attention, they will bust you.

They are not so much concerned about speed as much as getting into the turn lane too early going from Hurricane Shoals turning left onto Hwy 20 as if to go to downtown Lawrenceville. They will cite you for making the turn too fast as well. They sit in the lot of the used car lot and watch for the cars to cross the double yellow line too early for the turn lane.

Going into Lawrenceville on Buford Drive after you cross the 316 intersection, there are always numerous motorcycle police. They are more prevalent into downtown Lawrenceville. They will pull you for speed, getting into a turn lane before the dotted lines, not stopping for a bus on a 4 lane highway etc.. I have noticed more in a.m. rush hour, but have seen them at all times of day.

Lawrenceville Police in Gwinnett County conduct heavy speed enforcment on Hwy 316 usually only during the day hours near Riverside Drive. Officers are usually on motorcycles and very hard to spot. Also Gwinnett County Police are often in this general area using laser.

Outside Gwinnett Medical Center, motorcycle police officers will stand near the poles and run radar. The speed limit is 45 mph and most traffic is 55 mph. Since the only business on that road is the hospital, it makes no sense to have a 45 mph limit. Depending on the officer, a car is frequently pulled over for going 3 miles above the 45 mph posted limit.
