Ritzville, Washington Speed Traps

We just got home from a vacation trip to the Pacific Northwest and this area on I-90 had the most aggressive speed enforcement we saw in 5,000 miles of driving. Troopers were all over, mostly in unmarked SUV’s. We set cruise control right on 70 mph. Another vehicle with out of state plates passed us going about 10 over and was pulled over by the cops in short order. Advise setting your cruise control throughout Washington state, as it has some of the strictest enforcement of any state west of the Mississippi. We did, and had a nice ticket-free vacation.

E and W I-90 into Ritzville and past city center exits.

Patrol car sits in median between west and east bound lanes and is hidden by a hill about a mile before a overpass. Heading westbound at night the car sits on top of the little hill and there isn’t any warning once you see the patrol car. MP 225 is in Adams county. Drive slow!
