Baton Rouge, Louisiana Speed Traps

Quala Truck Wash

Motorcycle sits on corner at Carrolton. Very protected by trees. Speed limit is 35.

Persons passing through this neighborhood setting should follow the speed limit which is at 30 mph. If not, they may get cited and rightfully so. Monitoring is not on any set schedule so watch your speed at all times.
Residents encourage the use of speed monitoring there for good reason.
Going 50 to 65 down this road which cuts through from Essen to Bluebonnet is all too common. Watch your speed in this and other residential areas.

Bluebonnet Blvd AND the old Bluebonnet Street running parallel to the new blvd.The 40 mph on the boulevard is a little low for the area once rush time traffic has abated. On Bluebonnet Street the driver is fooled by a speed sign just as you turn onto the street from Jefferson Hwy, in most cases after waiting and negotiating traffic. Easy to overlook it that soon after the turn. The street is wide-open and most houses are way far off the road so a 30 mph is unexpected. The officers are waiting much further down at the entrance of one of the subdivisions that intersect.

trap was set in temp. construction zone. drops from 70 mph to 45 with less than 1/2 mile notice upon decline of port bridge.
