Wichita, Kansas Speed Traps

Be careful they hide in the trees along the Golf Course.

WPD sits in the East bound off ramp to Tyler in the mornings nailing East bound drivers on US54. In the afternoons they will sit at the Tyler Rd on ramp to US 54 nailing West bound drivers.

1 man radars, 1 radios patrol cars , many cars stoped at one time.

This is a "construction zone" along a highway that turns into a drive with a few stop lights and then eventually turns back into highway. It seems that work is never being done on this "construction zone," but it is not uncommon to see 2 or 3 officers pulling over people within a few blocks of each other at any time of the day. The speed zone suddenly goes from 60mph to 40mph with little notice or time to react to it. My wife was given a $330 ticket yesterday in this area. I was given a ticket several months ago for only going a little over the speed limit. It seems that the City of Wichita makes a lot of money from handing out traffic tickets, and they are addicted to this source of income. Tourists beware. Do your shopping somewhere other than Kellogg.

on 54/400 heading west there are a thick line of trees on your right side well before the West street exit. Cop will sit inbetween the two largest trees. You dont see them until you pass-have noticed them on Sat afternoons and scattered weekdays-this is a new trap.
