Southbound Vineyard south of 101 and Esplanade

Oxnard, CaliforniaMar 29, 20103 Comments

Motor officer hidden among parked cars in strip mall (sporting goods store) west side of Vineyard (before RR tracks). Speed limit is an odd 30 mph. One sign posted but view is blocked by other signs and poles. 3 lanes in each direction with divider. Tendency is to do 45 or 50, especially after exiting freeway and driving down hill along this stretch.

This a 100% speed trap!.. I got nailed here and how the author illustrated this trap is exactly what happened. I got off the freeway off-ramp, the tendency is to go a bit faster because it's down hill and the 1speed limit sign that's posted catches up to you before it's too late. I was fined for going 45 in a 30 MPH zone. I asked the motor cycle cop to honestly tell me: "Is there a quota for your guys, to hand out speeding tickets?"..he said: "There's no quotas...but there are expectations".. The biggest myth in the world is that there are no quotas for cops to hand out tickets..The city needs to make their money and you can be sure cops get bonuses for getting out the most tickets.

30 mph on a 6 lane divided semi-commercial road makes no sense. The speed limit just south of Oxnard Blvd is 40 mph and it is in a semi-residential area where cross traffic enters and leaves the roadway and it is only 4 lanes wide. The cops hang out where they know the speeds are set way too low and they just pick off one car after another. I will guarantee those same cops speed down this same road but they don't have to worry about paying the $200 fine for endangering nothing.

it may be a speed trap...... but how many people have been killed or injured crossing the railroad tracks at vineyard and the blvd?? let the cops do their jobs. in this case, their needed to slow the traffic in a hazardess area.
