Market Street near US Highway Route 15

Camp Hill, PennsylvaniaAug 10, 20050 Comments

Market Street (going North on rt 15, then turn right on Market) between Rt 15 and Lemoyne has a posted speed limit of 25.

This speed limit is clearly rediculous and universally ignored. Most people go at least 35, usually 40 and sometimes 45+.

The Camp Hill Police take advantage of the situation. They spend a multitude of their time ticketing reasonable drivers while they should be doing something constructive (maybe DUI enforcement) instead. I’ve seen them sitting at Robertos parking lot and Friendly’s parking lot during the night. I think they use vascar and pacing, but im not sure. They use white lines painted near Blimpy’s as a vascar speed trap. Just keep an eye out; especially during the night. Slow down if any suspicious car is following you.

Also, Camp Hill is known for having unneccessary "No Turn on Red" signs when turning from several streets (mainly Trindle) onto Rt 15. A Camp Hill cop usually sits in Arby’s Parking Lot (along Rt 15) and enforces them late at night, when it is perfectly safe (but not legal) to turn right on red. Watch out for them, they are difficult to see in the parking lot when sitting at the light.

Another thing the Camp Hill Police do is ticket drivers for not coming to a "complete stop" on their 4-way stop signs. Two of my friends got tickets this way. It usually happens late at night. This is very hipocritical considering ive seen a Camp Hill Cop not come to a complete stop at one of these signs at least twice.

Please comment if you know any more details about their traps or their methods of speed enforcement.
