Redmond, Washington Speed Traps

Speed trap set on a steep downhill westbound starting from 172nd Ave NE. Police car sitting with radar gun from high vantage point at 162nd Ave NE or near Church entrance. Gravity here is not your friend.

Speed limit is 40, but southbound traffic regularly goes 50. Cops sit in parking lot on left just south of the Shell station, or in a driveway to the right a block further south (just passed the PCC) Slow way down when you get to 116th headed south.

Speed limit changes from 35 (on 238th Ave. NE/Redmond Ridge Drive NE) and from 40 (on Union Hill Rd.) to 30 on this 0.5 mile stretch of 238th. State Patrol on green motorcycle hides on various driveways and gets people going both directions, north or south.

When Traveling East on Union Hill Rd, there is a Redmond City police officer parked and "clocking" right after the UPS center. The speed limit is 35mph, but most cars travel at 40. The officer claims that he has been called out there for road rage. Its before the speed limit turns to 40mph.

As you’re traveling Eastbound on SR 520 to Redmond, you will round a corner that is slightly past exits that will lead to most streets that will take you to the Microsoft campus, therefore many people will have gotten off by the time you get to this point. You will turn a corner, and there will usually be 3 policemen there pointing radar guns at you. It’s Very easy to exceed the speed limit here because where they are is on a downgrade and there aren’t usually that many people there anyways. This speed trap is pretty common on Weekend mornings, on occasion in the middle of the week but always in the morning. Slow Down after you get to the NE 51st ST exit! You won’t regret it!
