Amherst, New York Speed Traps

Troopers are running a very active speeding ticket campaign on the 290 through out the summer months. Beware. Trap runs through Amherst and Tonwanda. Traffic flow is easily 65 to 70.

If you are heading down the 290 towards Amherst and the Tonawandas (West I believe)Just past Main Street there is a split in the Highway where you could make a U-Turn. They hide in there and can get you either way. Also just after the Sheridan drive Overpass in the same Westerly direction. My Radar picks them up every time. ESPECIALLY LATE NIGHT.

Located in the west bound lane under the center mall bridge just before the rt 62 exit. Trap usually operates more often near the end of the month.

The town police sit back off the road on the left side of New road when traveling from Millersport Hwy to Tonawanda Creek Rd. You can’t see them until you’re right on top of them.

I used to live in the sundrige apts. and often times I’d see a motorcycle unit sitting infont of my unit (which was the last) behind a large tree right before the bend in the road. I saw him write out over 7 tickets in only a hour or two. Be careful!
