Sandy Spring Road near Food Lion Grocery Store

Laurel, MarylandSep 21, 20050 Comments

On Sandy Spring Road, officers hide behind the back of the Food Lion and point radar at cars coming from downtown Laurel (Rt. 216) area. Then they walk out in the middle of the road to flag you down. Speed limit is only 25 mph – they will pull you over for anything over 30mph.

State Highway 198 near 9th Street

Laurel, MarylandFeb 11, 20050 Comments

Heading east on 198 into Laurel, the speed limit drops to 35 just before you head down the hill towards the Shell station. Police tend to be stationed on the left on the corner of 9th street catching people coming down the hill too fast. Been awhile since I saw this one but it’s somewhat regular.

Southbound BW Parkway (295) and Rt 197

Laurel, MarylandApr 22, 20030 Comments

About 1 mile from the merging of southbound I-295 (Baltimore Washington Parkway) and MD-197, is a ditch between the line of trees between NB and SB 295. There is a trap that’s there between 9:00am and 10:45am monitoring the southbound lanes. Northbound lanes watch out as well, especially during the night after 7pm.

Another type of trap: Enforcers will lift the hood of one unmarked police vehicle as if it were broken down, while nearby sits a speed trap. The "broken down" vehicle is usually a decoy.
