St. Paul, Minnesota Speed Traps
Lexington Ave (Between University and Energy Park Dr)
I’ve been driving this street, both directions, for about the past month. Every single day that I have, I have seen people pulled over by the same police car (in both directions), unmarked vehicle, it’s either a newer, burnt orange Ford Mustang or Dodge Charger. On some days, I drive the route twice, and I’ve seen him both at 8am, and again and 1pm, so I suspect Lexington is this officer’s “beat.”

If you’re leaving downtown St. Paul via West 7th/Fort Rd, there is a hill right after you pass St. Clair Ave. An unmarked police car typically waits at the bottom of the hill with a radar gun; posted speed limit is 30 but it’s easy to pick up speed coming down the hill. I’ve been stopped twice in two months, once right near the MacDonald’s and once a little further up near Jefferson (I drive this route a lot).
