Allen, Texas Speed Traps

A cop will be standing on the right side of his vehicle by the hood with radar gun. Partner is in the car presumably verifying speeding vehicle and plate #. While they do stand out in the open, I have twice seen a car slam on the brakes while swerving nearly running into adjacent cars in the process because the driver was startled by a cop pointing "something" at them looking down the sights. How this saves lives, I don’t know.

Beat these clowns by staying in the middle lane pacing the flock. Pull out in front or linger in the back and you’re toast.

Leaving Lowes last Saturday I turned from Benton onto McDermott and steadily accelerated to the Posted 45mph that I saw up top the hill. I even saw the cop, but low and behold she popped her lights on and……what do you know, I have a speeding ticket. I asked her what my speed was ( I already knew but thought she’d realize it’s only slightly above the limit) and she said 51. So I was 6 mph over, could you cut me a break. No, it’s 40mph which is posted Down the hill. I clearly saw the 45mph sign and wondered what the law is. Can you go that speed when you see the sign or right when you pass the sign? I feel railroaded.

When traveling West on McDermott (E Main between McDermott and N Cedar Dr) you will see a 40 MPH sign. If you go to the right towards the old Down Town Allen you will quickly miss the 30 MPH sign that is behind a tree. If you are looking you can catch teh 3 on the sign. The police will be set up int the FBC Allen youth center parking lot. They love to write tickets to people who thought they were doing the speed limit.

They will sit in the new subdivison by pool and catch you comming west bound or they will sit down by kittyhawk they run that stretch from 121 to 75 when they are running step
