Fife, Washington Speed Traps
School Zone
Red light cameras and a Very long school (20mph) zone that seems to be patrolled much of each day. There are flashing yellow lights for when children are present. In most school zones that means when coming from or going to school. These seem to run for much of the day. This is all fairly recent and it certainly appears as though they are suddenly trying to up their revenues!
Interstate 5 Southbound near Interstate 5 Northbound
The WSP are Very strict with the speed limits on I-5. They Will pull you over if you are 1 mph or more over 60MPH. Also, they will pull over any suspicious relating to DUI, Road Rage, Cell phones, etc. Just watch your driving habits period!

Alexander Avenue near US Highway 99
Between Highway 509 and Highway 99 a section of Alexander is 25 mph, but on the other side of Hwy 509, the speed limit is 40 mph. I am told police lurk just to catch people who don’t notice the drastic change in speed limit.
