Plano, Texas Speed Traps

2 police cruisers sit at the Russell Creek YMCA (on McDermott between Independence and Coit) roughly between 2 and 6 pm. The level of enforcement is so high that another coworker and myself pass time by guessing on the number of cars that will be pulled over in any given hour.

Going northbound on The Dallas Parkway, between Plano Pkwy., and Park Blvd. I have noticed recently around lunch time, that there is frequently one or two Plano motorcycle cops about 1/4 mile before you get to Park, in the entrance to the Wal-Mart with radar/laser. This is after a long stretch of straight road with no driveways, so people have a tendancy to test their car’s top speed along this stretch…Try to keep it under 80mph.

They hide behind a tree, and If you come from Park Boulevard which is a 40 MPH road and turn into Cleary Rd. (30 MPH) without a sign before the school zone. They use de radar and stop you right away.

This shortcut has a posted speed of 30, and they are frequently busting drivers.

This is the most unique trap I have seen.
With all the Hwy 121 construction, there have been Plano cops taking radar and busting speeders going from Legacy Rd to Spring Creek Parkway.
These cops sit inbetween dirt piles and will tag you once you are in their sites.
The biggest bust I have seen was no Wednesday (6-28-06). There was a Plano police SUV, Plano road rage cop and a regular marked police car all taking turns busting people. They also were radio’ing down to fellow officers that were parked at Spring Creek and pulling over the ones that they could not get.
BE VERY CAREFUL. IT IS A CONSTRUCTION ZONE AND FINES ARE DOUBLED!
