Humble, Texas Speed Traps

The speed limit on Birchridge is 20 MPH and is posted because there is school on the far side of the shopping center (1/4 mile or so away). There is a Humble Officer who sets in the Pet Smart store lot and nails folks comming from the feeder onto Birchridge. I work in an office complex on Birchridge and about half the folks in the office have been stopped for going over 20.

As you travel East Bond on FM 1960 from US 59, you quickly go over a train track bridge. As soon as you make your way over, if you are going 46 or more (Speed Limit is 35) you will be handed your ticket with a big smile by the finest of Humble Police Department. They sit in the Dominos parking lot and clock people all night long on certin nights.

Cops like to sit at various parking lots at various times of day to watch for speeders, but they also like to patrol the on-ramps to 59 and pull people over here. They usually leave you alone, but if you get pulled over they might exaggerate your speed. This has happened to numerous of my friends and family. Watch the posted limits on the feeders!

Speed limit drops from 45 mph to 35 mph in a very short distance. Police car is ready and waiting. Officer had his lights on before I even passed him. I slowed down enough so that he could exit his parking spot ahead of me. I still got busted big time.

This 2 mile stretch is posted at 45 mph, everyone drives 60 mph including the police, constable sits on side of road around curve with radar, I’ve gotten pulled over within same area 2 times in last 5 months, they just pick anyone out of a pack of cars to pull over.
