Tulsa, Oklahoma Speed Traps

Construction speed trap by the Riverwind Casino. There are at least 6 cop cars, and they hang out in the parking lot across the street from the casino. MAKE SURE YOU FOLLOW THE POSTED SPEED LIMIT. It goes from 50 to 25 in about 100 feet and they are pulling over EVERYONE. Safer to skip the area altogether until they finish construction for the casino. Lewis is a good alternate route.

Multiple police units lined up inside construction barriers with a police officer watching speeds. Some seven units with drivers pulled over already. Westbound on HWY 244 around Lewis exit

IT’S NOT JUST YOUR AVERAGE SPEED TRAP; IT’S A CONSTRUCTION ZONE TRAP. THE INTERSECTION HAS SOME CONSTRUCTION BARRICADES UP ON ALL 4 SIDES, BUT AT THE LIGHT FROM FACING NORTHBOUND ON GARNETT TO TURNING LEFT GOING WESTBOUND ON E 31st ST, THE LEFT TURN LANE IS & ALWAYS HAS BEEN OPEN. IT WAS NEVER BARRICADED, EVEN THOUGH THE OTHER LEFT TURN LANES FROM 3 OTHER DIRECTIONS HAVE BEEN BARRICADED FROM TIME TO TIME. HOWEVER, THEY HAVE ONE SMALL “NO LEFT TURN” ORANGE SIGN HANGING UP NEXT TO THE OVERHEAD TRAFFIC LIGHT FOR THAT DIRECTIONAL TURN LANE. THIS, THE OFFICER TOLD MY FAMILY, IS “4 SIGNS BEFORE THE INTERSECTION THAT SAY, ‘NO LEFT TURN’ ON THEM.” HE’S FULL OF HOGWASH! IT’S A TRAP! HE SITS UNDER THE BIG SIGN OF THE NEW CVS PHARMACY IN THE PARKING LOT, JUST WAITING TO SNAG WHOEVER IS LAST IN THE LINE TO TURN LEFT AT THAT LIGHT SO HE CAN TICKET THE POOR, UNSUSPECTING SOUL & FATTEN UP THE CITY’S GREEDY COFFERS! TODAY JUST HAPPENED TO BE MY FAMILY’S TURN. WE’RE GOING TO MAKE A MOVIE OF THIS ONE! [I TYPE IN ALL-CAPS DUE TO VISUAL IMPAIRMENT; NO OFFENSE INTENDED.]

Two motorcycle cops regularly tag-team weekday mornings and use radar guns. The speed limit changes at the bottom of the hill going southbound – so ride your brakes going downhill.

Just today there have been 2 unmarked cars, one marked car and 3 police motorcycles pulling over 3 people at a time. Witnessed 9 stops in less than 30 minutes
