Starkville, Mississippi Speed Traps

Cops like to wait over at White Dr to spot speeders headed to MSU campus

Stop light trap. A motorcycle cop was waiting behind a bush to find people pulling through. They say it is because they have had many incidents where pedestrians get hit, so be sure to tell them that you have never hit anyone with you car if you get pulled over.

Police patrol this road hard during events at the Mississippi Horse Park and Agricenter. When accused speed was disputed and asked to see radar reading, it was refused. Especially active during morning and closing event times harrassing people when the speed limit changes. Do not exceed the 35 mph limit on this road by even 1 mph.

As you cross over the bridge on Hwy 82, it becomes Martin Luther King Drive, speed drops from 45 to 35mph but there’s no sign of the speed change until after you get over the hill. The police is sitting at the foot of the hill, there is no time to see him or to slow down for the speed change.

Although not very apparent, there are two cameras facing this intersection from a decent distance. Radar detector K-Band is always set off at this intersection too. Probably part of the speed sensing system (or just false).
