Harborside Road near 29th Street

Galveston, TexasJul 14, 20050 Comments

Harborside is the commercial road from I-45 to the tourist Strand area, UTMB and the Cruise ships. It is really a good 4 lane farm-to market quality road with few stop lights. It is 45 mph to within a block of a left hand bend where it drops to 35. Most motorists go 50+ mph on the straight stretches and may not notice the 35 mph signs. As you round the bend, 2 motorcycle officers will be there with laser guns. Radar detectors will not go off since the officers aim lower than the windshield (my experience). You will get no warning before going around the bend. They come out randomly, and will take you around the corner in front of the Moody Center to write the ticket. This road should be avoided, especially when there is light traffic. I Suggest you go straight off the Causeway onto Broadway – and all its lights – to avoid this trap, or pay very close attention
to the speed signs.
