Seattle, Washington Speed Traps

If you are driving on Aurora 99 (Highway 99)SOUTH towards Seattle, you may encounter an officer in a squad car speed-gunning on your right right before the Woodland Park Zoo.

So, if you are coming south on Aurora 99, you will pass Greenlake on your right and you will begin heading up that hill where the Woodland Park Zoo is on your right? Watch Out on Friday mornings, that’s where the cop sits. It’s a perfect position because people speed in the right lane to get around other cars before the third lane merges back into two lanes at the top of the hill, and the cop can pull Right out behind you after tagging you and pull you over.

Only noticed this guy on Friday mornings.

Once a week usually on Tuesday’s they do saturation enforcement on a stretch of highway that can clearly support higher speeds.. the only danger comes from the police cars racing back to the starting spot near 40th Ave N

At the fish warehouse on the north side of the bridge, halfway up, there is often radar aimed at westbound cars coming up the ramps from Elliott Ave/15th Ave W. The posted limit is 30 mph which feels very slow.

Occasional police car on the shoulder eastbound on 520, 50 feet before the start of the 520 bridge. The car can’t easily be seen until you are in radar range. I’ve only seen them in the evening and only in good weather.

So. bound hiding amoung the retail businesses, mostly seen early weekends. My boss got nailed 2 minutes after taking the wheel from me 🙂 ! (47 in 30)
