State Highway 140 near all of Route 140 in Westminster

Westminster, MarylandDec 12, 20051 Comments

This regards all parts of Route 140 in and around the City of Westminster. The speed limit within the commercial zone is 45, and it is important to do just that speed. I used to live in the city, and it’s incredible how heavily Route 140 is monitored by the illustrious Westminster police. I have been to Westminster traffic court twice, and many of the defendents were stopped for 60-65 mph–the prevalent traffic speed on this thoroughfare. Both of my violations were on Route 140 (once inside and once outside the city). There is no particular place they sit, but it’s safe to say that if you speed consistently there, you will be stopped sooner or later.

Comments:
This area is not only a speed trap but a driving trap in general. It is best to AVOID MD-140 through Westminster past 12 on week days and past 10 on weekends and Fridays at ALL costs. You will be pulled over and given a guaranteed ticket (no warnings) no matter how slow you drive and no matter if you follow every driving law to the letter, they will not let you leave until they find something to bust you for. They are looking for nice cars and street racers in particular, if you're in the minivan you'll be fine, but if you and your friend happen to be rolling in a M3 and a saab expect a visit from Westminster's finest.
