Humble, Texas Speed Traps
Woodland Hills Parkway near Liles
Speed limit is posted at 30mph (too slow) and is enforced fairly often. Not too many “heed”” the posted speed limit unless an officer is present.”
Atascocita Road
On Atascocita Road between Wilson Road and Bender Road the speed limit drops from 45 to 35 (for no apparent reason). There are frequently Harris County Sheriff’s deputies patrolling this area. I’ve noticed an increase lately as Atascocita Road has become a mini-freeway in the morning and afternoon for Atascocita area commuters. The prevailing speed during rush hour is in the 50-55 range, so the tickets can be very expensive. There is a Sheriff’s office at Atascocita and Wilson, which probably explains the activity.
