4th Street near the whole Street

Westwego, LouisianaMar 14, 20061 Comments

The entire City of Westwego is one big speed trap. Any thru street`s speeds are dropped coming into the city & they take EVERY advantage of this to extort every penny from you that they can. The WORST street for this is 4th street, a main road thru the city that has a very safe,reasonable & comfortable speed limit of 35 in EVERY other town it runs through EXCEPT WESTWEGO,in Westwego it suddenly drops to 25! and BAM! they have you!They hide everywhere throughout 4th street in Westwego shooting radar, but especially at the city limits, taking full advantage of every unsuspecting motorist not familiar with this city who isn`t looking for the very few & poorly marked speed limit signs that are supposed to indicate a speed limit (which HAPPENS to be 10 MPH lower than every other town this street runs through.) River Road is also a huge speedtrap, as well as any regular street throughout the city. Expect cops to be cowering behind every and any tree holding a radar gun, jumping out in front of you as you pass by.

Ridiculous accusation, Extort my butt. There are 3 schools and a church in Westwego on 4th street Idiot! This is why they drop it down to 25 mph. You are luck it isn't 10 or 15 mph like other cities like in front of Helen Cox 15 mph. It is 25 mph and yes cops enforce it strictly to protect the kids and other people walking around the schools and churches. But there is no alternative motive! Do 25 mph and you will be fine.
