Stadium Boulevard near Ashland Gravel Road

Columbia, MissouriJun 08, 20040 Comments

Campus police cars often park on the shoulder of westbound Stadium Blvd. between Ashland Gravel Rd. and College Ave. on the west side of the ridge in the road. The police don’t respond unless posted speed(40mph) is exceeded by 10mph. Enforcement is generally during the afternoon rush, but is often at noon and can always be expected when students are entering or leaving town en masse at semesters end or beginning, and holidays.

City police are never seen enforcing the speed limit at this location, only Campus police.

The road is four lanes at this location and can handle speeds approaching 55mph easily.

The best policy is to drive up to the top of the ridge at about 45mph, verify the absence of a patrol car and then accelerate to 50+ in order to catch the College Ave. signal on a green. Alternatively, if a risk-taker is already going 50+ ahead of you, maintain an identical speed as the trailblazer until said person crests the ridge in the road. If the individual doesn’t tap their brakes or visibly reduce speed, then the coast is clear.
