Edmond, Oklahoma Speed Traps

Edmond City Police running radar on Interstate 35, just inside city limits.

9th Street has been a known speed trap for quite a while. I live on this street and the cops frequently hide in the alley behind my house. There are 2 schools on this street and the high rate of speed that many motorists travel is well above the safety level for our children. I applaud the Edmond Police Office for trying to keep our streets safe for our children.

Edmond police like to camp out on the entire length of I-35, from 33rd street at the south end all the way to Waterloo. There are always 2-3 cars there on both sides of the road, usually with someone pulled over.

Watch out for the stretch of Kelly between Danforth and Edmond Road! I live in the area, and the police routinely set up speed traps in the parking lot of the Apartment complex about halfway between Danforth & Edmond Road on the west side of Kelley. They also hide on a dirt road that leads into a woody area a few hundred yards south of the complex (also on the west side of the road). The road cants at a funny angle to Kelley, so it makes them very hard to spot unless you’re within a hundred feet or so. Final one: close to Danforth (still on Kelly) there is a bank. I’ve spotted speed traps in the parking lot of the bank. They partially shield themselves behind a sign there.

Hiding behind objects . Using Trees , vehicles to hide behind , behind buildings . BEWARE ! Edmond cops are a cross between taxi cab drivers and 7-11 workers .
