Stafford, Texas Speed Traps

Brand Lane underwent construction for a year and is now in excellent condition and with a turning lane going the length of the one-mile road, but the speed limit is a ridiculous 30 MPH. The Islamic Center now has a school and the school zone is posted at 20 MPH. There are school zone signs, but no flashing lights as in most other school zones around. So morning and afternoon, I see many people pulled over, usually by a policeman on a motorcycle.
If you drive on Brand Lane in Stafford, be careful during morning and afternoon school times. The motorcycle cop also hides in parking lots near where the Hobby Center used to be.

Exit 59-S, After you pass The Fountains going South on the feeder road, before you get to Corporate Drive. Coming off the highway the speed limit downgrades to 45mph. There is a little utility nook/dirt road that leads to nowhere on the right. Usually at lunch time or during the morning rush, they park in the nook with their radar and step right out in the street to tell you to pull over.

The speed limit decreases from 65 to 60 for MAYBE a mile during the 59/beltyway 8 exchange in Stafford. I was in the fast lane going 70 on 59N to avoid the traffic exchanging lanes on the ride side. There is a hill directly under the hwy exchange overpasses, and there was a policeman just on the other side of the hill who pulled me over going 70 in a 60 zone.. I did not pull away right away, but not more than half of a mile in front of me, he had pulled someone else over. I could see them in the shoulder from where I was still parked.

The officer stands in front of the Stafford Police Station with his radar and jumps out to pull you over. Be careful, the guy will give you a ticket even for going 9 over, not 10. So stay at 45 if you can, on a bad day, he might give you one for going 47

A motorcycle cop always sits at the end of the school zone. Just as you think you have cleared the zone and time to speed up…BAM! I see it happen everyday.
