Germantown, Maryland Speed Traps

Montgomery County patrol unit sits north of Rt.355 and Rt.27 intersection in the dark with lights off waiting for someone to run a late night 4-way flashing red light. There on some weeknights and most weekends.

(Germantown By Milestone Shopping Ctr.)

Cameras on an open stretch of road, AFTER an elementary school and no housing to speak of. There is already a 4-way stop in the area.

As you go down the hill past Cedar Grove store on 27 a cop is waiting in the lot to get you. Watch your speed on the hill.

There is a long stretch of highway between Longdraft Road and Rickter Farm Road on Great Seneca Highway. What cops here like to do is sit in the median after the second bridge if you’re coming in the direction toward Northwest High School. He sits in the median where there is low visible light. There is a long right turn in which you go over two bridges. After the second bridge about 200 yds up there is a service turn in the median. He always sits there and tags you with a lazer (remember however that he can see you well before you see him). In fact the only way to know he is there is to have a radar detector. As I said this is after a long straight away ( a spot used by a lot of street racers to high speeds with no traffic)so you want to make sure you watch your speed, the posted limit is 55.

Heading south on interstate 270 from Frederick,Md just before exit16(Father Hurley Blvd)Maryland State will sit on the left hand shoulder sometimes 3 or 4 deep and get you when you come around the bend in the road by the time you see them they are walking in the road to get you. They will sit there sometimes with there trunks up so they don’t look like the police and get you.
