Tacoma, Washington Speed Traps
Gay Rd E & River Rd E
10/28/08 While I was driving today South on Hiway 167 also known as River Road E. I spotted a WSP trooper sitting just North of the Trans-Union Truck Driving School semi truck trailers, tucked in a little. As you travel North on that road, by the time you spot him, he has already locked his radar gun on you and he is hot on your trail so watch out!
Pacific Avenue near 110th Street
Watch out ! The police line up in threes in the Attorney parking lot right next to the McDonald’s drive-thru. They speed trap people going South coming off the freeway as well as going down Pacific. One speeder gets chased the next cop car just pulls up in his place.

Spanaway Loop near Steele Street
White unmarked Chevy Suburben. Sits on side streets on North side of the loop just before the light where road changes to Steele Street. He told me I was caught on radar going 51 in a 40 and went to 55 when it changed to 35??? It’s easy to speed up when you finally get to the two lane after following some slowpoke going 30 on the one lane stretch of Spanaway Loop, so watch out!

Schuster Parkway near Dock Street
Got me going 57 in a 40. Two Motorcycle Cops sitting in a perfectly cutout portion of Schuster Parkway going to Ruston Way. It looks like it was specifically designed for MotoCops. There is a corner that goes to the left immediately after a downhill ride. If you can see them, it’s too late!
