Sandy, Utah Speed Traps

This speed trap is located on 9400 south. The police like to sit on the north side of the street just below the sub station.

The police like to sit of the road on the west side where the two roads intersect. The police sit on thier motorcycles and hide in the bushes. I have seen up to 3 officers at once. One radaring and the other two chasing the offenders.

Heading Northbound on Highland Dr. between Viscounti Dr. and Creek Rd., Highland Dr. drops downhill and at the bottom of the hill on the east side is a park. Motorcycle patrols are often running radar from the parking lot.

Going westbound on 9400 South the speed limit changes from 45 to 40 and it is going down a hill. About 100 feet after it turns to 40, the officer is waiting. I’ve seen him in the morning and the evening, just on my way to work and back, but the officer said that someone is there most of the day. He also said that he never sits still for more than 2 minutes.

The speed limit is 35 MPH, which I feel is unrealistic. It should be bumped up to 45 MPH. There’s police officers parked on the side streets approximately 100 feet from the corner. Sometimes parked in driveways of residental homes. I live on this street and have seen over a dozen cars pulled over in an hour. You will get pulled over going even five miles over (which is easy traveling west).
