Katy, Texas Speed Traps

35MPH on Kingsland eastbound and westbound, but you will easily be pulled over by the cop rocking LIDAR binoculars looking for people going eastbound during rush hour traffic cutting through this area to get to I-10. If you go anything above 35 you will be pulled over by the cops on foot with their motorcycle parked in the neighborhood median. Unsuspecting drivers will be too late because the LIDAR picks you up as you approach Greenhouse.

There is a short stretch between hwy 90 and the north end (termination) of Cane Island Parkway where the speed limit is a slow unnecessary 30mph (non residential road). There are no private driveways and separate pedestrian walks far from road separated by trees and bushes. There is very little pedestrian traffic on the sidewalks (approx 10 per day). 3 – 4 police officers hide and issue tickets on this road daily. It is the source of many social media threads. According to rumors, someone in the upper income ($500-$1.5) neighborhood decided everyone else was driving too fast and petitioned for the limit to be lowered. It is a constant hassle for any guests into the neighborhood who would never expect such slow speeds on a non-residential parkway. A majority of the community is upset about it but no one knows how to change it.

If you exit I-10 West and turn left to go over overpass on Pin Oak, there is no speed limit sign on the bridge. Once you get to bottom of the hill of the over pass you will then see a speed limit sign for 30 mph. The city of Katy PD sits down there and shoots radar onto the overpass to catch you as soon as your car starts the decline and then nails you for exceeding 30 mph well before you ever get within sight of the sign!

usually at night between 8pm to 10pm

East Bound speed reduces from 55 to 45 then down to 35 and 20 during school zone hours. Units like to hide behind bushes at the Katy Vet Clinic to clock cars.
