Lubbock, Texas Speed Traps

Heavy enforcement all day long in the construction zone.

A motorcycle cop constantly sits at about the 4400 block of Indiana in an alley obscured from the motorist’s view by a residential fence. The cop quickly writes you a ticket so he can reposition himself for the next unfortunate. Speed limit is 40 mph and a small hill before the 4400 block adds to the cop’s camouflage.

There are many motorcycle police and they get everybody.

If you’re driving on campus at night, you’ll probably notice from time to time that there is a cop hiding out by the rec fields at the traffic light or in the right turn lane onto 19th by Chitwood/ Weymouth/ Coleman. Whereas they are probably trying to catch drunk drivers, I think they should stick to that and quit pursuing people going 25 mph when there are no people out. Also, in the 30 mph stretch of flint by Stangel/Murdough, Carpenter/Wells, and Gaston, there is often a cop driving by so make sure you stick to 30. But during the day, don’t speed; there’s too many pedestrians on the roads. Also, has anyone noticed that officer hiding by the flashing red light near the stadium (that in my opinion, should be a curve for the main flow of traffic and a stop sign for people coming out of the parking lot)? He gets quite a laugh out of writing tickets for people who don’t make a complete stop at the light when following the curve. And he even told me that he sat out there all night writing ticket after ticket for people who don’t stop completely. I mean, come on…there are much bigger problem areas on campus than that! i.e., vandalism in residence hall parking lots.

if your coming from inler, headed east toward loop 289 on erskin, there is no posted speed limit until you get to the access road to the loop. on frankford theres some sort of police hang out theres always like 5 cars over there. and always one on the way there if they catch you going 70 anywhere in this area you get a ticket for 70 in a 55 even though its not posted ANYWHERE! When asked where its posted the cop will tell you both ends but dont believe him contest it. The last sign you actually cld have seen was on inler saying 70mph.
