Bowie, Maryland Speed Traps
All Bowie Road near City of Bowie
Bowie now has its own police force. They are out to make sure the city perceives they are doing their jobs by setting up radar all along Rt 197, old "Levit Bowie" deveopments and Rt 450. They will be writing as many tickets as they can.
State Route 3 Northbound near Just past the Rt. 50 overpass, just before kinghts of Columbus driveway
For years they used to wait in the Knights of Columbus driveway where they are well hidden by bushes and where the speed limit drops abruptly to 50 mph, lately they have been parked in the median strip on the left, in plain view, but just after northbound drivers have crested the Rt. 50 overpass and encountered the lower posted speed limit. It’s difficult to slow down fast enough unless you know they might be there.
State Highway 197 near Rocky Spring Lane
The road here goes up and down. If they are there they will be parked at the golf center because as soon as you go over that hill… they have you and you have no chance to slow down.
