Wichita Falls, Texas Speed Traps
Barnett Road near State Highway Seymour
Barnett Road/Wellington Lane, north from Seymour Highway to FM 367. Wide, perfectly straight road with very little side traffic. Easy 70 mph road, but it’s 55. Texas DPS units work this 3-mile stretch 24/7, almost nonstop.
McNiel Avenue near Whataburger Street
McNiel Avenue runs the full gamut N to S from Seymour Highway to Southwest Parkway, and is posted at 30 MPH. You are strongly encouraged to do just that. Bike cops love to park pretty much out of sight about 1 block North of the entrance to Rolling Meadows. They will burn you and your 45 MPH in a heartbeat….and it’ll happen so fast, you won’t have time to say “cruise control””.”
State Highway 79 near Volunteer Fire Department
The speed limit changes from 70 mph to 55 mph but few people notice.
Professional Drive
They sit in front of the church on Professional Drive and there is a tree there so you can’t see them….and the speed limit is 30!
Old Burk Road near Sheppard AFB
Old Burk Road which runs North/South just outside Sheppard AFB. Bike cops are notorious for hanging out in the parking lot of the old GEICO Insurance Building. A quarter of a mile North of their hangout, the speed limit is 45 but quickly drops from to 40 to 35 to 30. Gotcha! Their clientele is predominantly Air Force personnel exiting the Sheppard AFB Hospital Gate.
