Default Re: National Speed Traps

Hmmm...I'll question the accuracy, at least in my area. Yes, they mention the interchange of the 241 & 133 Toll Roads, which I drive almost daily, and maybe 25% of the time I see the patrol car sitting right where they describe.

But they fail to mention the 241 Toll Road at Antonio Parkway, where perhaps 75% of the time I see a patrol car sitting in the median under the bridge. They also mention the
Trabuco Canyon/Wagon Wheel location and how patrol cars are parked on the side of the road catching speeders coming down a long hill. Well, that long hill ends right at my street and I have never once seen a patrol car sitting on the side of the road there. Odd. Heck, I can see that stretch of road from my backyard, looking down the hill!!!

No mention at all of the entire length of Oso Parkway either. The speed limit changes 3 times in 4 miles yet the surrounding topography, housing, etc remain pretty constant. People get pulled over seemingly every 1/4 mile some days!

Looks like I need to add these to the list to help improve accuracy in my area.

Cool site, thanks for the link.
