Poughkeepsie, New York Speed Traps

Cops love to sit in any of the commercial parking lots that line Salt Point – especially at nights.

They seem to definitely be around more on Friday and Saturday nights, but their presence is there nonetheless. The road invites speeding, as it is devoid of too many turns until down the road a bit, and is predominately flat. It also doesn’t help that State Police have a service station up the road next to Boces.

Cops like to between the Exit for the Mid hudson bridge, and the exit right after, There were some nasty accidents there so the cops are picky about speeding in that area, the posted limit is 55 right before the trap and then drops to 45. Also going northbound, cops like to sit on a service road with laser and get people for cops down the road to get on the other side of the concrete divider

Once you pass the Rt.55 exit going North on the Taconic at the James Baird State Park road they sit on the right. Some times one will sit there and clock you and others are down the road pulling you over trying to make there quota for the month.

This trap is just near the dutchess county airport on route 376 when you are going 376 south just after you cross gulf gas station there’s kind of uphill, cop sits in his car with his radar near the fence and you dont see him untill you cross him.

Officer stands behind "Spakenkill Rd" sign that is mounted on overpass with radar gun pointed at southbound traffic. Numerous (3-4) Town of Poughkeepsie police cars are staged just after the ovepass as pusuit vehicles. On Sunday, 11/5 at 11:30 am this set-up was observed. Business was brisk for this 40 MPH posted area. They had two cars pulled over beyond the overpass & writing!
