Manhattan, Kansas Speed Traps

the riley county officers sit across (north side) the ksu football stadium usually at the top of the slight hill on Kimball ave.

The Manhattan/K-State/Riley County PD reached all-time low today. A car rolled thru a stop sign at the intersection of Jardine and Mid-Campus. Immediately after that, a cop car flips on the light, flips on the SIREN and rips out onto Mid-Campus doing well over 40 mph in a 20.

When he passes me at the S-Curve in Mid-Campus in front of Call Hall, his car is swerving all over. He rips right thru a four-way stop at the corner of Mid-Campus and Claflin, startling three unsuspecting cars and a few pedestrians.

Whatever danger the "violating" driver posed by rolling thru a stop sign on empty north campus, the cop I’m sure more than tripled that danger by driving like a madman through campus to chase the violater down. Until now, I had given the PD some benefit of the doubt. It’s a college town, lots of crazy drivers. But this sealed the deal for me. It’s not about safety; it’s about money. Plain and simple.

Cops will tag people going down the hill east towards Seth Childs Road. It’s only 30 mph. Ride your brake all the way down.

Manhattan PD like to pick people off on this entire stretch:
Speeding down the hill towards Colber Hills Golf Course
Not coming to a complete stop coming off the Seth Childs exit ramp (There should be a stop light here)
Cops sit in the Thomas More Church parking lot
Cops also sit in the Football Stadium parking lot waiting to pick people off.

The road constantly changes from 30 to 40, back and forth. Be on the lookout here

Just as you enter Manhattan there is constuction there hot and heavy there
