Standridge Road

The Colony, TexasJun 24, 20092 Comments

To avoid traffic on 121 and Main St. a lot of people are running Standridge to Ridgepoint and then to Main Street. Towards the end of every month the cops will sit and get you for running stop signs and speeding. My ticket was for 36 in a 30 heading down a hill. No car is that accurate that 6 miles over should be ever questioned. I have spoken with several cops, including one in The Colony, that have told me that unless you are running at least 10 miles over the majority of cops will never stop you.

This is a speed trap at 121 and paige/plano pkwy SB in the colony. I was coming off 121 doing what 70 and reducing 65, 50, 55 then going to 50 on the service road to an intersection at paige rd/plano pkwy. When i turn right on paige i didnt see a sign and accelerated back up to a REASONABLE speed about 30 to 40. Hell When you drive a few more blocks it goes back to 50mph. But right there you turn into a stretch of road called a "construction zone." But it was Sunday. No body working, and i didn't see any sign. When I came back after getting a ticket I saw the sign. I was clocked by moving radar doing 41 in a 30? Also I saw the cop pull another vehicle over in the same place as me. I bet all day Sunday doing that brings in a sufficient amount of income for the city and the cop gets lots of citation brownie points. Definantely a speed trap. If we got a foi request on the number of tickets at that spot it would look like a criminal enterprize extorting money. They should not have the limit it so low when there is no construction going on and in between 121 and 50mph limit further down the road. They double your ticket if there are workers present.
