Bethesda, Maryland Speed Traps
Democracy Boulevard near State Highway 270
A cop on a motorcycle will sit right in front of the library across the street from WJ high school and it will be hard to see him. It is a 35 zone but nobody goes that slow so be careful.
River Rd.
On River Rd. at Holten Arms School entrance. sometimes 2 or 3 cops park in the entrance and catch people going both directions on River Rd.
Connecticut Avenue
Radar/Laser is set-up at all times during the day between the area of East-Highway and the downtown circle both north and south bound. The posted speed limit is 30 miles per hour but it is unrealistic for a 3 lane road in the middle of a highly populated area. However, that is what is so beware!
MacArthur Blvd. and Walhonding Rd.
Cops like to sit in the parking lot right across from the Sycamore Store, near the canal entrance. Will catch people coming up and down MacArthur and you can barely see them, speed limit is 30mph, better stick to it.
Westlake Drive
2 pedestrians were killed, jay-walking. Cops gave them warnings but ignore advice. So now, cops are coming down hard on motorists. Started enforcement a few days ago. Don’t speed from Tuckerman Lane to Democracy Blvd.
