College Station, Texas Speed Traps

Two particular locations are particularly dangerous. It is very often that a motorcycle cop will be stationed on the side roads on Texas Av, between New Main Drive and George Bush. The other is in the median / construction area on Texas at the Bush intersection. Regardless of exactly where they are hiding, the motorcycles are equipped with laser, so there is little warning whatsoever, and you detector won’t save you. Most frequently they are present in the morning, especially toward the end of the month.

A city motorcycle policeman will sit in a residential yard behind some trees so he can’t be seen until it is too late. The speed limit is 30 MPH but there is a 5 MPH allowance before a car is considered to be speeding. If a car heading east on Holleman, towards the stop sign at Glade Street and Holleman Road, is doing more tan 35 MPH, the policeman on the motorcycle is sitting there with a radar gun and he will get you before you see him. It is best to go 30 MPH because one never knows when the policeman on the motorcycle is sitting there with his radar gun. If a car is doing 35 or over and the policeman on the motorcycle is there, it is a guaranteed ticket for speeding.

There is always a motorcycle cop hiding behind the Auto Repair sign or the Campus View sign!

On HWY60 heading East toward campus, the speed limit drops from 55 to 40 at Discovery Drive. There are motorcycle cops and some in cars. They hang out on the sidestreets and wait for people to drive by who didn’t notice that the speed limit dropped.

Police cruiser or motorcycle cop parked on the southbound ramp going on to 2818 from Raymond Stotzer Pky (University Drive) or on the 2818 itself. The speed limit in this location is 60mph and they park just after the overpass. Common to see them between 8-9AM during the rush hour.
