portland Street near spring Avenue

Dartmouth, Nova ScotiaMay 27, 20080 Comments

This trap is on the corner of Portland St. and Spring Ave across from the entrance to Portland Estates. Officer will hide behind a blue electical box and aim laser up the hill towards Cole Harbour to catch people coming down the hill going over the 60 k posted speed limit. You will more than likely have to ride your brakes down the hill to maintain the posted speed as this is a long hill and you can reach speeds up to 80 k if you do not. They put their patol cars on Spring Ave so you can not see them . They do not seem to be to concerned with speeders coming the other direction only those coming down the hill. There are signal lights at this corner so cars do stop anyway . I would think they would do more good at public safty if they were to set up at the corner of Portland and Jersey were there is a crosswalk and no lights as this is where a person was killed due to someone not paying attention to her driving .
