Frederick, Maryland Speed Traps

Intersection of Rosemont Avenue & Montvue Avenue has photo system to identify anyone running a red light. The lights on Rosemont Avenue have a very short yellow, so it is easy to find yourself going through the interection on red. This will result in your license plate being photographed and a traffic ticket being sent to you. Good revenue enhancement for the City of Frederick.

Route 70 west as you approach Frederick, 1 to 3 cops sit there facinng Route 70 west 3 out of 5 rush hour days, Its right before the speed changes to 55. WATCH OUT.

As you are on Tuscanny, either going in or out of the housing development, there can be cops by the guard rail, or a cop car on the side of the road. Watch out, I got pulled over by 2 cops on a bike.

The incident took place at midnight on a Wednesday night. There is not much of a shoulder on 270 North between Germantown and Frederick, so this officer was parked right before the Rosemont Avenue exit. He was using radar, KA band, and probably that ‘instant on’ technique. My detector did not pick it up until it was too late. I was going with the pace of traffic, and there were two other vehicles going the same speed, but I was the one that got pulled over. The ticket was for going 74 in a 55 zone, a $80 offense. It may also be worthwhile to note that a friend driving up the same night saw the police vehicle parked on the other side of the highway an hour later on 270 South.

MD State and Frederick County Sherrifs mostly on weekends but some rush hours. Usually two or more cruisers facing opposite ways for effective lynching. Speeds on average are approx. 80 to 85 mph posted limit is 65.
