Ames, Iowa Speed Traps

Towards city limits ( when you start to see all those parks), heading eastbound on 13th street, when you come down the hill with a graveyard on the right there will almost always be a police office sitting in the driveway. This is the ideal place for a speed trap because of the cover on the right and the fact that the hiding spot is at the bottom of a hill. There is no way of telling whether there is an officer there until you are right on top of him. Also, the speed limit changes to 45 mph right after the hill. You should generally go 35 ( the posted speed ) because I have seen people picked up for 2 miles over!!!
