Salt Lake City, Utah Speed Traps

Cop on angled side street just past light at 21st to catch people heading west on Foothill.

2/2008

Coming down the 800 South (Sunnyside Ave) hill, from 1200 East to 1100 East especially, you really have to conciously ride your brakes to keep within the limit. It’s steep and it’s easy to gain speed. The cops are usually 2 Motorcycles with one shooting the gun and the other pulling over violators.

Cop with radar on east side streets

There are often two cops parked outside the 7-11 on 1300E waiting.

Just as you come up 7300 South heading east, up Creek Road watch out… there is a cop well hidden on a side street right after the "Castle". This area is 25 miles an hour and is poorly posted, as you just come through the light off of 1300 East. Not much farther ahead, the speed limit changes to 35 mph. In fact, when I got pulled over here, I was right in front of the 35 mph sign but the officer pointed out that where he got me on the radar was just before that, in a 25 mph zone. I never saw a sign for 25 mph until I came through that area again days later. It is posted clear back at the intersection. Who would guess that strip of road was 25 mph? What a trap! No one drives 25 there, and believe me you will have cars all over you when you do, like I do now.
