Barnstable, Massachusetts Speed Traps
Prior to Rest area between Exit 6 & 7 East Bound
There is a small dirt pull off about 1/2 mile prior to the well known speed trap in the rest area on the right side.
The Trooper usually pulls in parallel to the highway behind a large clump of shrubbery. It is very difficult to see as it is on a slight incline and curve. They use LIDAR there so it is very accurate. If there is a Trooper there, usually there isn’t a trap at the rest area at the same time.
Average time of use for this area as a trap is between 7am and 930 am most weekdays.

there is a long straightaway, then a slow turn to the left – the radar is set topick up cars as they come around the long curce…speed limit is 55mph, traffic is usually 65+. I go past this very frequently. traveling at 65mph or slower, I’ve not been stopped. faster traffic is routinely stopped.
