Irving, Texas Speed Traps

During the afternoon rush hour, I have noticed a police car sitting at the intersection of Walnut Hill and Esters from time to time, sitting next to where Esters dead ends. That intersection is a 3-way Stop sign. People also typically speed in that area. It is best to be careful in that area, since during the evening, since there is quite a bit of traffic in that area.

Irving PD typically has patrol car situated behind Verizon building sign awaiting southbound speeders from HWY161-George Bush Turnpike. Posted speed is 35 but should be 45.

As you’re heading north on Beltline, the road goes downhill. Irving PD like to park in the parking lot on the west side of the road and pop speeders flying over the hill. Since there’s a school zone just north of the bottom of the hill, they like to hide in that parking lot and catch speeders going southbound, too.

The speed limit is changed from 30 to 35 and back again on a regular basis. The speed limit on this road should be 40+. During the times that the speedlimit has been lowered to 30 is when enforcement is the most agressive.
