Springdale Street near 22 Freeway Bypass

Westminster, CaliforniaSep 28, 20071 Comments

Within a mile or so, there are 3 elementary schools on Springdale Street between Lampson Avenue and Iroquois Road. In the morning from about 7:45, for about 1/2 hour and then in the afternoon, from about 1:15, for over an hour, there is a motorcycle officer positioned in a driveway by the self-serve car wash. The speed limit is 35 mph but there is an overpass involved, so it gets difficult to maintain 35 throughout the entire stretch of radar zone.

Yes this is a speed trap!! I defended myself on a ticket I received here (51mph in a 35mph) with a trial by declaration and my ticket was dismissed!! The local engineering and traffic survey shows the 85th percentile safe speed to be higher than the posted limit, and the motorcycle officer that tickets here captures your speed based on laser. Bingo -- we win (unless you are in the school zone when children are present).
