Boston, Massachusetts Speed Traps

This is a new trap now that 93 south is underground. Reduce speed to 40 MPH as you cross the Leonard P. Zakum Bridge. State Troopers sit on the far left side of the tunnel, usually 5 or more at a time using up to two guns flagging speeders over as they come down hill to the underground portion. This trap comes out after 10:30 at night on weeknights, and many people get pulled over. I cannot stress it strong enough watch your speed in the downtown section of 93 south.

When coming over the Mass Ave. bridge (over the Charles River) into Boston, there commonly is at night an officer in a patrol car watching for speeding vehicles. The limit over the bridge is 35 (I believe) but it is common to see vehicles going 50-55+ on this bridge during late night when there is minimal traffic on the bridge. The officer will sit on the first small road on the right side between the river and the first traffic light, and you do not see him until you are just passing by him.

2 low profile police cars park with their trunks open and using laser radar, be advised it’s a 35 mph zone changin to 20mph.

State Trooper (alone) will hide behind stairs inside tunnel with laser gun in hand and its very difficult to spot him/her he calls by radio the discription of your vehicle to his commrads who are only a few hundred feet on the the rigtht araund the bend in front ready to stop you and issue their tickets.

The motorcycle cops park inside the rotary out of view and nail you as you approach the rotary. The posted speed limit is 25 mph which is a crawling pace and everyone gets stuck. This happens on the east side as well about 50 yards from the rotary the cruiser is parked on the right side with his radar.
