South Street near Santa Barbara Street

Not really a "speed trap" but when you’re going north on Broad Street and come to the intersection of South Street (Hwy 227) and Santa Barbara Street (where the SLO main fire station is), it is illegal to turn right on red and a sign is posted on the street light. A lot of people either don’t see the sign or just ignore it and turn right on red. I have seen a motorcycle cop that sits in the driveway of the firestation and believe it or not, as visible as he is, he is constantly writing up people for turning right on red. I have even been waiting for the light to turn green and had the person behind me honk their horn at me with the policeman sitting 100 feet off to their right. They probably never even knew I saved them a ticket. And it’s a convenient place for the cop to be because he only has to get off his motorcycle and walk a few feet to get all the free hot coffee and doughnuts he can eat. So remember, no right turn on red from Broad Street to Santa Barbara Street!
