Arlington, Massachusetts Speed Traps
Rt. 2 East Bypass near Exit Number 59 / Rt. 60
Either coming off Rt. 2 East and approaching Rt. 60 or using the access road heading east from Park Ave as an on ramp for Rt. 2 East, officers have been using radar for the traffic heading down the hill. Cars are either coming off the exit at highway speeds or picking up speed to merge on to the highway, yet posted speedlimits at 30, I believe.
Lowell Street near Westmoreland Avenue
The officer sits in his car on Westmoreland Avenue, across from the reservoir, usually monitoring traffic coming from Lexington. Enforcement is stepped up typically in the springtime before the reservoir opens and pedestrian traffic is increased
