Lockwood Ridge Rd & La Petitte

Sarasota, FloridaMay 07, 20101 Comments

Between University rd and Talavast rd on Lockwood Ridge, the speed limit is 35. DO IT….. FHP has been known to sit at La Petitte school, Greek Church, and driveways along the way. They have even stood right out in the middle of the road with their scanner. Just when you think they are not there anymore.. BAM… my neighbor got a $400 ticket going 44.

See Bradenton speed traps postted on march 18 for mor detail N.LockwoodRidge from University to Whitfield Ave Bradenton, Florida Heading north on Lockwood Ridge starting at Walmart the limit is 35mph. Manatee county and State troopers (generally 3-7 at a time) are parked (and hidden) in the childrens day care center,on the east side of the road. One guy stands on the side of the road with a laser, shoots the northbound drivers, and can read all the way down to the north entrance of Walmart which is at least a quarter of a mile. He then walks out in the middle of the road and waves them in.They also park in the empty lot just north of the day care and do the same thing. Also, north of tallevast, on Lockwood Ridge, same setup. They park at the church on the east side, right where the road takes a jog so you can see them until you are right there. The speed limit on N. Lockwood Ridge road changes 3 times from State road 70 to University. 45 from S.R.70 to Whitfield Ave, 40 from Whitfield to Tallevast and then 35 from Tallevast to University. I travel that road every day and have literally hundreds of people stopped,especially between Tallevast and University.
