Austin, Texas Speed Traps
Manchaca Rd just south of W Ben White Blvd
Motorcycle cops hide in the church parking lot and catch people just after they cross the reduce speed sign. THERE’s NO TIME TO SLOW DOWN!
E 38th 1/2 St & I-35 N Interstate 35 Frontage Rd
Motorcycle hiding in alley on side of Chucks..not visible.
Dean Keeton near Red River
Cop waiting on hill East of I35 underpass. Street is 30mph limit. Cop is regularly there weekday mornings.
S-bound Mopac TX1 between W Anderson and 360 fork before 6AM
Got two tickets during this stretch, but the revenue generation is easy pickings. Everyone speeds when there’s no traffic, so you just need to be unlucky enough to be noticed by highway patrol when they happen to be passing through, which seems to be often. At the time, they will charge you extra for workers present when there are none and for speeding on a construction zone, even if it’s more construction-adjacent, with all the heavy equipment and any change in road conditions behind concrete barriers. Be vigilant and merge with caution.
E Oltorf – Just West of WB Travis High School @ Alta Vista
Motorcycle cop runs laser towards the bottom of the hill near the Valero gas station. Looking for speeders coming down the hill and/or exiting the school zone. Typically they’re shooting east from the Alta Vista Ave intersection towards the top of the hill. The school zone hours typically run pretty sporadically but they’re almost always sitting there during those times.
