Isle Of Palms, South Carolina Speed Traps
Isle of Palms resort island near Charleston SC
The entire island is the speed trap. Be particularly careful on Waterway Dr and the IOP Connector from Mt Pleasant. Tickets are written at less than 5mph over the limit, and the speed enforcement is clearly for revenue generation—not public safety. The island is only 6.5 mi long and 1.5 mi wide and may have 4 or 5 cruisers on duty —the cops are literally tripping over each other. The police also maintain a para-military demeanor on a little resort island that has no real crime—go figure. Beautiful island–nasty police.
Beachside Dr & Sandshell Ct
the whole island is a speed trap especially Palm Blvd
41st Street near Between Palm Blvd. and Waterway
Between Palm Blvd and Waterway-usually closer to Waterway, they sit on the north side of 41st St. 5mph over & you a ticket. Don’t expect any discretion by the police. The IOP Police wearing their combat fatigues in the community of 3,500 folks are known for being overly aggressive.
Waterway Boulevard near All of Waterway Blvd.
IOP Police like to sit on all along Waterway Blvd.
Also, they like to catch people at the stop sign on 25th Ave and Waterway.
US Highway Palm Blvd. or Front Beach
It would be a shame if the IOP police were not included on this website. They are ruthless when their shift is about to end. The sergeant tells his squad to make stops and arrests regardless of probable cause to gain overtime hours at the jail and writing reports. If you don’t believe me, ask any of them if they work a standard 40 hour week.
