Louisville, Kentucky Speed Traps

This one’s been mentioned but not in detail. When traveling down I-65 at 70mph out side city limits you suddenly have an increase in lanes from 3 to 5. At the same time there is a 15mph decrease in speed limit. Every Morning there is city and state police officers waiting to pull over commuters who aren’t paying attention to the decrease in speed. They are usually partially hidden behind one of those stone walls where it’s hard to see them and frequently work in groups of 2 or more.

As you exit Gene Snyder Freeway (I-265) and travel East / North East on Old Henry Road (Approaching Lake Forest Subdivision), both marked and unmarked Louisville Metro Police sit alongside the roadway and in the small dead-end roads to the left and right on either side of the road. The speed limit is 45 and changes to 35 in the area. Be advised that most of the time, they will see you before you see them. Enforcement is most common in the afternoon / evening but I have seen them in the area at all hours of the day. If they pull you over they will give you a ticket.

The hot zone in Louisville is I-65 North and southbound between the Airport and Bullitt County. Both State Police and Jefferson County Police are out in Force everyday. They have marked and unmarked cars. State police use laser and Jefferson county uses Radar. Unmarked cars include Silver Explorer, Black and Blue F150, Camaro’s, Dodge Charger’s. Many days there are multiple cars on both sides of the Expressway between 2:00pm and 5:00pm.
