Baltimore City, Maryland Speed Traps

The MD State Police and the Maryland Transportation Authority Police should be down at BWI airport looking for terrorist, but since so much of your toll money is wasted, they are in force Northbound and Southbound on I-95 between north of exit 67 White Marsh and the 95/895 split to the south. They use marked vehicles (watch for the trunk lids up, some are even creative enough to put the spare on the ground), but they also use late model Mustangs, Camaros, a couple of Pontiac GTO’s, variety of colors; all dark black and blue, Ford Expeditions (gas is no object to these state workers) and Chevy pick-ups with major window tinting. Oh yea, and throw in two motorcycle cops on SB 95 between exit 67 and exit 64, but they are only there if the weather is perfect so they don’t get dirty. They stick out like a sore thumb because MD has a window tint law and since they are the police, well, they are above the law and they can violate it. That plus how many owners of Camaros and Mustangs have antenna’s on the vehicles and if you look close enough at the tires, not your factory Goodyears but special police HP’s.? The bright side is that it takes 5 of them to pull over one car with a lot of drama, so once you see the pack on the side of the road, you are good to go!

As people are exiting at exit 6 from 83 north and south, on the 28th street portion, as they come down off the highway and the light is green they are able to maintain speed. Three or four cops regularly sit about a block away (up 28th st) on he left hand side and nab people.

When heading southbound on Route 83 a speed trap is often setup under the last overpass before the end of the highway. SPeed limit is reduced there and they catch lots of commuters.

Every so often, police will radar on 41st street just before Fox 45’s studios. Slow down and adhere to the posted speed limit, because they are strict. Slow down before you hit the bridge over I-83, or they already have you. No rhyme or reason as to when they show up there.

Officers sit at the intersection of Oliver St. and Greenmount Ave (In front of Thrift Store). They are focusing on traffic going southbound on Greenmount from North Avenue. The speed limit is 30 mph., but the area is hilly, and as a result, most people are doing 40-45 mph.
