Melissa, Texas Speed Traps

Melissa town cop will just sit on the side of the road with his lights on and when you pass he will then pull you over and cite you for passing authorized Emergency Vehicle/ TC 545.157. The law is called “Texas Move over law”, whereas you have to move over OR slow down to 25 mph. Once he is done with you he just sits there waiting for another victim.

Anyone traveling south on Miller Road, be very careful to go the 30 MPH speed limit. The police hide in the Miller Park parking lot, and also at the entrance to Berry Farms. They must ticket at least 30 people a week on this street.

Headed East bound on 545 just passed Milrany Rd. about a 1/2 mile to a mile on the right side of the road, cops will sit and wait behind a bush in a private driveway, usually in the early morning hours before sun comes up, with radar on. It’s a 50 mile an hr. zone thru there and if you are over it by 1 mile an hr. they will stop and ticket you. They are there almost every morning.

City police sit on side of 121 just beyond Hwy 5 split. They are just beyond the split as the road drops off enough to hide them until your too close. Your also considering the merge by then as 121 drops to single lane prior to the RR bridge, so watch it and enter the area no more than 5 over & ready to reduce to 55.

They sit behind Kim’s Corner Shell Station and catch you coming up a slight hill on Berry Road toward State Hwy. 121.
