Burleson, Texas Speed Traps

McAlester from Renfro to I35 W the speed limit is 30 MPH and the city police love to sit in the side streets and issue tickets. Traffic is picking up on McAlester now that all the new retail is growing by I35 and the number of tickets are growing as well.

Johnson road from Renfro to Wilshire Blvd is about 3 miles long but the speed limit is set at 30 MPH because there is a 200 yard frontage to Warren Park. The city police have started setting up daily. The 85 percentile average is close to 45 MPH but the limit remains set at 30 MPH.

On west Renfro from Alsbury to McAlester road the speed limit is artificially low at 30 MPH. Twenty feet past McAlester it is still residential but the speed limit is 40 MPH. City police set up three blocks east of the 40 MPH speed limit and nail you with laser.

Two motorcycle cops at the entrance ramp to I-35W north bound from FM 917 every week-day morning. One shoots radar, the other chases you down and pulls you over.
