Plano, Texas Speed Traps

police car waits on the side of the road just past the Legacy exit, which is where traffic seems to speed up a little

Coit road curves as it heads south from 121 and Frisco. You won’t see the patrol car until you round out the bend. Just north of the intersection of Coit and McDermott, a patrol car will be parked in the median. This occurs during rush hour in the mornings several times a week.

The cops love to hide in the allies at the very end of the walls. So, as your speeding, you’ll see them once they’re out in view from the wall and then of course, it’s too late. They’re serious in this area since it’s right near Plano Senior High School and love to get the students that are speeding back to school from lunch…or whoever else chooses to speed.

Every Saturday and Sunday morning, Plano has an officer parked in the shopping center parking lot that catches you as you come around the corner, south on Independence. The speed limit has dropped from 40 m.p.h to 30 m.p.h. and many motorist are unaware. This is an old speed zone and has not been brought into all of the other speed zones going north or south, east or west. This officer has someone pulled over every morning and I have had two guys that I play golf with given tickets.

Located Between Bethany Dr. and Legacy Dr. on the Southbound service road. New speed limit signs have been posted before and after the bridge. On the Allen side of the bridge the speed limit is 55mph and right after the bridge in the Plano city limits the speed limit changes to 40mph. Plano Police setup on the first street after the bridge to catch offenders that are driving 55mph in their 40mph zone. Enforcement is usually during morning rush hour and weekends.
