This is not a speed trap, but is similar in its devious exploitation. The traffic light at Elysian Fields and St. Claude is set to change from yellow to red FAR too quickly for this size intersection (a 6-lane street crossing a 4-lane). At only 3 seconds, it is literally impossible to stop safely if the light turns yellow on you when you’re near the intersection. A few motorcycle cops are regularly located at this intersection, and undoubedly bring in a good amount of funding for the city as a result of this unsafe traffic light.
