West Jordan, Utah Speed Traps

Police office sets up radar in church parking lot at the bottom of the hill to entrap eastbound drivers as their cars accelerate on the hill. Speeds exceed the 25 mph limit for a few seconds until driver applys brake.

Motorcyle cops sit at 2200 West on West side watching motorists come East on 90th South. Pulled several motorists over on 3/21/04.

Posted speed is 50MPH for one mile, westbound, near the top of the hill; the speed is reduced in less than 100 feet from "reduce speed ahead" sign to 40MPH. Officers park on the street just at the top or the next one west, on the right. Traffic is rather congested and reducing your speed in such a short distance could increase the risk of rear end collisions.
