The speed limit on west Midway Boulevard used to be 40mph, which was safe and reasonable for the amount of traffic through this industrial area where the street is extremely wide and has a center turn lane. In 1999 or 2000 they dropped the speed limit to 30mph and started setting a speed trap in a parking lot on the south side of the street west of Burbank Street. Most people drive 35mph to 40mph on this road. Sometimes they have a police cruiser here, and sometimes it is a photo radar trailer (the kind that shows your speed on an electronic sign on top). There are long periods when there is no trap, but that’s usually when they suddenly set the photo radar trailer out. They also use the photo radar trailer on Hoyt next to Richard S. Steel Park for northbound or Geneva Pharmaceuticals for southbound vehicles where the speed limit is an even more unreasonable 25mph well over 1000 feet before it becomes a residential area.
