Renton, Washington Speed Traps

Motorcycle cop on right hand side of road coming down hill of 140th to SR 169. Usually hiding

Between the western city limit sign on SR900 (also named MLK wy and Sunset Highway)and Rainier AVE (SR167) to the east. The WSP,Renton PD and King CO watch this area a lot,usually parked on the north side of the road by Oakesdale St. This is where the speed limit drops to 35 from 50 going east.

Between Benson and Fairwood, both directions. Usually police cars pulled off the road between trees or in curves, where they cannot be seen in time. Be careful when going downhill and your car speeds up a bit.

Motorcycle Officers sit in the driveways of warehouses along the Ave. There can be from 1 to 3 Officers on motorcycles. Speed limit is 35 mph & highly enforced.

Its a motorcycle cop with the gun on his bike.sometimes he hides out in one of the turn offs, but today he hit me with the laser while traveling in the other direction. The speed limit is kind of tricky on this road. Keep going south and the speed limit is 45 but the actual speed limit is 35 all the way down the hill traveling north. The cop actually u-turned in the middle of the road to follow me going south and hit me with the radar a couple of times before giving up and doing another u-turn. You can say what you want about Radar/Laser detectors but if I was without one on this day I would garantee that I would have a speeding ticket to pay.
