Bella Villa, Missouri Speed Traps
Bayless Avenue near Interstate 55 to Lemay Ferry Rd.
Speed enforcement is very strict and unforgiving, however any additional violation will not be overlooked. A slightly crooked headlight is a target as well.
Bayless Road near Interstate 55
Bella Villa is a very small area. It is between I-55 and Lemay Ferry Road. The police will usually sit in this old gas station along Bayless, and sit around the McDonald’s parking lot waiting for people as they are comming off of the highway. These cops are very strict and will pull you over for only going a couple of miles over the posted speed limit. Be careful around here.
Bayless just east of I-55
If you get off of I-55 and onto Bayless you enter the city of Bella Villa. I usually see officers sitting in the McDonald’s parking lot on the north side of Bayless. The speed limit is 35 and they target people that just got off the highway and are used to driving a little faster. Its a town of 687 people and the cops don’t do anything but sit around and wait for speeders.
Bayless Rd
Typical run of the mill speed trap. They are coming out of the bushes in this municipality with their narrow minded officers. No warnings at all.
Bayless Ave., East of I-55 and Avenue H, South of Bayless Ave.
Speed limits are realistic but enforcement is constant and exploitive. Officers hide beside Bayless or off Avenue H. Will stop motorists for speeding, less than complete stop at stop sign or ANY other moving or non-moving violation. Traffic court night is packed. A new City Hall/Courtroom is under construction. Bella Villa mayor recently announced intentions to annex surrounding area including part of I-55.
