Schenectady, New York Speed Traps

Scotia Police have been targeting this area for people running the red light. The intersection is very confusing and dangerous. The Village is trying to generate money for its budget, so you will not get a warning on this one. Scotia has grey cruisers with red led light bars. The decals blend in with the pain, so they can only be seen at night when reflected. Beware, they are very rude.

I-890 Entrance Ramp (westbound)off Michigan Ave.
State Troopers [typically Wednesdays] sit on entrance ramp to I-890 West, from 10:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., stopping and checking for Inspection, Registration, Seat Belts and any other abnormal characteristic/behavior.

trooper hides after exit 7, route 7, west bound and east bound shortly after route 7 exit. west bound they hid in dip off of side of road underneath the exit 6 sign. Eastbound he either is right in the loop where route 7 enters & exits, or, and sometimes and another is right after you go up a small incline, he they will be in center u turn, by the time you see them, you are caught. In addition, they just recently built a space right next to (and after) the bridge for exit 8, so that’s another good spot for eastbounder’s to get snagged.

Mostly Local Police sit in front of a small stand alone 2 car garage. Next to the Animal Shelter.
