Annapolis, Maryland Speed Traps

Police hide behind bushes on the Public Works property and nail drivers on a steep downhill heading towards West Street. The speed limit is 25 mph. If you top the hill at 25 mph, you can easily coast 40 mph right where the officer is pointing his rader gun.

Lately, there have been at least 2 state troopers sitting on the left shoulder against the concrete divider right before the mall exit. They would flag the driver down and have them pull over on the shoulder. As you might know, there isn’t a lot of room on the left shoulder. I’ve only noticed this during the morning drive, around 8:30-9 am.

As you exit Rt. 50, East or West, and go down Rowe Blvd. toward Annapolis they camp out just across the first bridge, about 1/4 mile from 50. The speed limit is 35, but drivers are comming off 50 where they are doing 60-70, so there is usually several cars stopped at once.

This speed trap is only there during about the last week of every month, I guess it’s when the cops are trying to meet their quota for the month in speeding tickets… both directions are enforced from the grassy median and the side roads right before the hill… there are usually about 3-4 cops in all.. 2 to call them out and 2 to chase..lasts for about a week every month, but that’s it. Not that bad, but I thought it might help a little.
