Des Moines, Iowa Speed Traps

Cops will sit along this strip from the Target clear to Walgreens on beaver ave. Especially on nights that Porky’s has biker night and hot rod night. If you have a modified car or a bike be especially careful.

The cop will park on the overpass behind the big green road signs. All that is visible is his lights on top the car if you look carefully. Then waiting on the on ramp are the cops to pull you over nice and quick. I see it most often during morning and night rush hours.

There is a police car sitting "discretely" along the freeway by the Guthrie Avenue exit about 90-95% of the time I drive along this part of I235 between the hours of 5:30 and 9:00 pm. Be CAREFUL!

The police will be parked inside the park which is completely hidden from traffic coming from the west. The only speed limit sign is several blocks back. The police officers stand behind a bush using the handheld radar and then walk out in front of you to motion you over.
