Roosevelt Avenue near Blunt Park
Speedtraps are frequently set up along a two mile stretch of Roosevelt Avenue between Wilbraham Road and Bay Street. For whatever reason, the speed limits are different depending on which direction you are traveling, i.e. 35 mph or 40 mph. They are well marked, so look for the signs. Favorite locations are behind Putnam Vocational High (look for the football field), where unsuspecting drivers headed south will find the radar set up in a closed off entrance to Blunt Park. Also on the southbound side, you will occasionally find the police parked on the grass, just after you pass under the State Street underpass. This is about 1/2 mile past the first location. On the northbound side, the favorite location is where police will park on side streets (usually Peer Street), across from the hockey arena.
