Moeser Street near San Pablo Avenue

El Cerrito, CaliforniaJun 09, 20040 Comments

The whole street is 25mph. I’ve been caught going 35mph. I’ve seen other motorists trapped here. The cop who caught me first "eyeballed" me going too fast, and then used his radar gun. I beat the ticket, though, by showing on a map that the regulatory signs (speed limit signs) do not exist on the west half of the street going westbound, though they may have put one up by now. I also showed that the street is rather wide, which seems to allow faster traffic, and I was pulled over far enough away from the school to be a speeding hazard. The cop did lie, though — he wrote me up for 40mph, but in court admitted the radar gun only said 33mph. Maybe that worked in my favor too. He claimed I was decelerating by the time he lifted his radar gun. Liar. El Cerrito cops have too much time on their hands, and I know the county is very short on money right now.
