Rockville, Maryland Speed Traps

Watch it coming down Nelson Street from Route 28. Montgomery County/Rockville police sit in the parking lot of the Christian Science church where you cannot see them. The speed limit is 25 mph, but it’s hard to maintain that coming down the hill (and most people don’t even try). Police also bust drivers coming from the other direction. All are pulled into the church parking lot, so the ambush is able to continue. Admittedly, this is a highly residential area including a bike lane, so motorists generally should cool it anyway.

Police park in parking lot of St. Elizabeth’s RC church and monitor westbound traffic.

County police park in parking lot behind Comp USA. Speed enforcement is very frequent, sometimes twice a week or more.

Going towards Montrose on Tower Oaks blvd from Falls road. After passing the Legato building on the left and entrance to Clydes, there is a small Postal Mailbox at the bottom of the hill. The police officers hide their cars or motorcycels in the drive way and gun from behind the Postal Mailbox. Most of the time they are Motorcycle officers and the shrubs obscures the drivers view of the police officer.

People coming over hill toward Rockville, can’t see police because of trees. It’s too late when you can.
