State Route 140 near State Route 194

Taneytown, MarylandJul 13, 20061 Comments

On SR140, on either side of the main intersection in Taneytown, as you come into town. This is a Taneytown police car, not a State Trooper. I see him on either side of 140, usually sitting in the parking lot of a business. He will move throughout the day so you may think he’s gone, but he’s really across the street in another lot. I’ve seen him during the week and on weekends, frequently with someone pulled over into a lot on 140. The speed limit drops here from 45 to 25 as you approach town, and most people are still doing the higher rate coming into town.

Comments:
Tickets issued by speed traps set up on private property, such as business parking lots, are illegal and can be contested in court. You might want to mention to the officer that you thought it was illegal to set up speed traps on private property. You might save a trip to court.
