Lexington, Kentucky Speed Traps

Hume Road runs between Winchester Road and Bryan Station just outside the Interstate. It has a Bridge on it that crosses over I-64 East just off the I-75 Exchange. Late at night..10-12 P.M. the younger folks like to Drag Race there because it is Straight and Wide. The Speed limit is posted at 35…it is a Country Road. While the Police wait to catch the Drag Racers, they catch us taking a short cut from the Movies at Hamburg. To do under 45 on that road is very difficult since you feel like you are in the Country.

Police sit in the median, usually in front of trees and shrubs but out of your sight of vision until you are very close. The entire stretch of this highway is 55 mph until you get to this area and they drop the speed limit to 45 mph. A great place for the police to increase their ticket quota in short order!

3 cars pulled over at once at mile marker 100 South bound

I-75 northbound. State cops sit on the left shoulder below the bridge south of exit 125. It’s a blind left turn so you won’t see the cop until it’s too late.

In the Harrods Hill Subdivision, Ft Harrods Drive is the main connector between Harrodsburg Rd and Man-O War Blvd. Speed limit 25 is Highly Enforced! Marked and unmarked cars hide on the side of the road, and down subdivision streets, and use moving radar from cars approaching you. Tickets appear to be written at 33 MPH and up. Beware!
