Lake Jackson, Texas Speed Traps

LJPD frequents 2004 from This Way out to the Jones Creek bridge miles away from civilization. There’s no greeting sign entering town from that way, just a 55mph sign and a friendly Dodge Charger waiting for speeders.

Motorcycle cop hides behind a tree at the baseball field and shoots people traveling north on Old Angleton Road from Oyster Creek Drive.

Motorcycle cops love the stretch of Oyster Creek Drive between Old Angleton and Dixie Drive. Favorite spots are private driveway with sign above reading “Lake Bend”” and by the Fire Department.”

Cops love this intersection because it is the line between the cities of Clute and Lake Jackson. It’s their last chance to pluck people before they enter into the next city. The game is get up behind someone while the light is red and as they cross the intersection, they cut the lights on.

A 50 MPH Zone between Oyster Creek Rd on the South to a point approx 1000 feet north of FM 2004. This stretch is interstate quality highway through a wooded area, well past the last light, (traveling north) at ‘This Way’ street and is just before the 65 mph speed limit begins. There are no cross streets or driveways. The posted speed limit is 50 mph even though Lake Jackson city ordinance, (in compliance with state law) set the speed limit there as 55 mph. (Chap 98, 86.1 (4)) The local police and the municipal court there illegally enforce the 50 mph sign. There is no reason for the reduced speed except to trap more motorists and to enhance the amount of the ticket fines.
