Coppell, Texas Speed Traps

White SUV in the turning lane for Braewood Dr. The Braewood to Bethel School Rd is a 0.4 mile straight line. The SUV is behind a shallow hill crest, showing only SUV roof line and windshield from a distance. The radar is mounted relatively high up, allowing line of sight all the way down to Bethel School Road. Cars going from/to Beltline & 635 are checked. Northbound cars are pursued by U-turn, and stopped before Sandy Lake photo enforced intersection. Southbound cars are stopped before Bethel School Rd, although not discovering the SUV in southbound direction would require a lot of distraction or obscuring traffic. Speed limit 40 mph.

Motorcycle, measuring speed on northbound Frontage rd, about 3/4 mile after Sandy Lake Rd. From same spot can also enforce right turn on red for cars going from s.b frontage road to Free port Pkwy and Free port to s.b frontage road. People making the right turn will have little chance of spotting the motorcycle from 100 yards away, on the other side of the hwy 121 bridge, but the motorcycle will have no effort of catching up.
