Louisville, Kentucky Speed Traps

I just turned onto Brownsboro from Chenoweth and was heading East. I was on the road for about 15 seconds before it was obvious I was getting pulled over. I found out from the officer the speed limit is 35. I got a $30 fine and $120 court fee. It didn’t seem to matter to the officer that I just moved to Louisville and was not familiar with that road. Afterwards I drove 35 and Everyone passed me. Those behind me were tailgating me and looking to pass me. I didn’t see one car driving 35 as I continued driving down Brownsboro.

–US Highway 42 (Browsboro Rd.)–

Officer sits on the side of road just north of the Watterson on Newburg Road. There is a downhill slope and a must to brake gradually, speed limit is only 35 and he sees you before you see him.

Marked and unmarked cars sit on the entrance ramp to the Gene Snyder Freeway from Billtown Road, headed North/East. Cars traveling North/East on the Gene Snyder are generally driving along with the flow of traffic and you will not see the police car until he’s already clocked you and has come after you from his hiding spot beside a rock wall along that entrance ramp to the Gene Snyder from Billtown Road.

Sky Blue Ave…Mostly during the daylight hours…Mostly unmarked sitting on an east-side side road halfway between Lower Hunter’s Trace and Greenwood Road..Speed limit is 25 mph…Easy to do 40mph before you know it.

Both marked and unmarked cars sit on side streets at all times of the day.
