Charlotte, North Carolina Speed Traps

Motorcycle cops sit on both sides of 277 under the bridge near the south blvd exit. They are not marked and I have seen them just about every morning the past couple of months during the morning rush hour.

485 west bound from 77 well past 85 there a city and state patrol sitting in the median. Motorcycles are and unmarked are the ticket vechicles of choice. They have a metallic bright blue Nissan 350z with rims and tinted windows as one unmarked and a dark blue Ford Mustang.

Police often park in driveway of house on intersecting street on southbound side, and in left turn lanes both northbound and southbound. This section of Johnston Rd lies between Carmel Rd. and McAlpine Creek. Very difficult to visually detect due to a couple of hills and the curve just before the McAlpine Creek bridge. Marked and unmarked units used.

An officer sits near along Albemarle (across from the Lowe’s) and gets westbound motorists. Though the limit is 45, traffic often moves along at 55 mph.

Coming over the train track about a half of mile in as you turn the curve. A police car is sitting waiting for you. Speed limit is 35 but as you turn into the curve you car will accelerate.
