Sykesville Police run speed traps at these two locations to ticket the traffic that bypasses downtown. Downtown speedtraps are too numerous to mention—just avoid it, it’s their playground. Deny them the opportunity. I live downtown and see them regularly on my way home at night; they park rather dangerously on the shoulders of Route 32 and you will not see them until they’ve got you. Once it’s dark, they’re out …a trip to traffic court in Westminster demonstrates the unreal ratio of Sykesville tickets to those issued by other jurisdictions in Carroll County.
