Poughkeepsie, New York Speed Traps

The arterial(rt 44/55), is a brad, highway looking road cutting through the city of Poughkeepsie. It has a posted 30mph speed limit and it is fairly well enforced, with police seetting up radar traps in several parking areas past curves. One I got stopped at was set up at Baker Street, but I have seen them at Clinton and Grand as well. It is very deceiving, because the road looks like a 55 mph zone.

Patrols sit in municipal parking lots and target east bound traffic.

Going east on Route 55, as you are going downhill toward Page Industrial Park (on the left). Speed limit is 45, but not easy to maintain due to downhill grade. The cop sits at the bottom of the hill on the highway divider, behind a tree.

police sit in the closed-off entrance to the old psych hospital. going southbound, traffic can’t see them until you pass. northbound traffic tends to speed up after passing Home Depot, but the speed limit is only 45.

Officer parks in the entrance of the park and watches cars traveling north coming over the Wappingers creek bridge.
