Sandy, Utah Speed Traps

When turning on I-15 South from the I-215 West Junction, there is a Highway Patrol Car that waits for people getting on the highway and follows them without radar/laser, until he is right on you from behind, then radar/lasers you and then pulls you over. The Speed limit is 65, however the flow of traffic is between 80 to 90 miles per hour during morning and afternoon rush hour. I was cited for going 85 in a 65 speed limit. However, my radar/laser detector did not go off until he speeded up at 100 miles an hour and almost crashed into the back of my car while radaring me and then pulling me over. However, by the time he radared me I took off my cruise control from 70 miles an hour and I was going 65, so he was not telling the truth about radaring me. Also, from the likes of it, he targets luxury cars like BMW, Mercedes, Porshche.

Sandy City Hall is where you have to go to court, which is infamous for having the worst Police Department that is unfair and tends to make you pay high fines for tickets and traffic school. They are sneaky to the point that they will put an arrest record for a misdemeanor on your record by just giving you a citation. So, you have to double check and make sure they have not put an arrest record on your record.

Personally I think there needs to be an overhaul of speed limits which are unrealistic for today’s cars. We might as well be driving Model T Fords in order to go with the current speed limits in Utah!

Watch out for Sandy City PD- They sit in the parking lot of the LDS Church. I was going 45 says the officer in a 35 – Only gave me a 5 over.

This Trap is right on 150 west, The cops usually sit in the church parking lot or across the street in the industrial area parking lot. Speed limit is 25, 30 or over will guarantee a pull over.

LEO appears to be parked at his home but is sitting in a driveway on the south side of 10600 south -OR- is in the church parking lot (or a side street just west of the church) on the north side of 106th south -OR- is shooting radar through the trees in the same vicinity. The speed limit is 35 mph on a main thouroghfare that is 4 lanes (plus turn lane) wide.

Dimple Dell Road between 10600 S. and 11000 S. Speed limit is 35, but reduces to 25 and it goes down hill toward 11000 S. Patrols sit at the top of the hill shooting north as you enter the down hill into the 25 limit or shoot south as you come up the hill. There is a hedge on the east side that looks like it has been trimmed to conceal the car and they can hide very well.
