35th Avenue near 3900 Blk of 35th Ave
As you come down the hill from the exit of 35th Ave/Redwood off the 13 Freeway on 35th Avenue the policemen are near the bottom of the hill. About 4 blocks up from MacArthur Blvd. the ticket says Location: 3900 Blk of 35th Ave. Usually a few of them, today, 7/7/04 I counted at least 4 with a police car arriving during the writing of my ticket which slowed the writing down as they chit chatted with two officers in the car which parked behind where I was directed to back up and park.
The officer who used the radar gun stepped off the curb and went into the right hand lane to point the radar gun on me. I immediately braked but didn’t check my speed. My first reaction was, ‘someone walking into the street – slow down’ then I saw the gun and knew I’d been caught in this speed trap. They do this radar checking at least once a month and for a few days in a row. I’ve noticed it now off and on all this year. It could have been going on longer, I can’t remember. I know about it so I drive slowly when I see them. Today, I didn’t see them soon enough. No one goes the speed limit of 30 when they are not there. At the top of the hill it was posted at 35 then shortly farther down it is posted at 30. At the new School it is now posted at 25 on the opposite side of a 4 lane road with a cement divider with plants and trees in the divider. The officer mentioned the school to me while speaking about the ticket to me.
