US Highway 83 near State Highway 83

La Joya, TexasNov 03, 20061 Comments

I have not been ticketed there; But many complains from friends and others, qualifies this as a speed trap. I go by this trap and you have to be at least 3 to 5 mph below or else, you get it. I know other stories about the cops, but I am not allowed to tell by the rules I just read.
Like you mentioned, I do not want my name known. There is always one or two cops with cars stopped. I try to avoid this area. I understand a bypass will be built soon, but when and if it will help the motorists, I don’t know. It appears like this is a source of income for this town.

La Joya, Texas has a known speedtrap along US HWY 83. Local police are over active at most times. If ticketed and you go before a municipal judge there, ask to see the ticketing officer's radar calibration log. If it hasn't been timely updated, ask for a dismissal.
