This speed trap is located in Olathe Kansas (Johnson County) on I-35 south-bound, south of 151st street (Great Mall) and north of the semi-truck weigh-station (about a 3 mile stretch). This is an incredible speed trap. (I can’t believe it’s not already on this website.) It is run by the Olathe police department and isn’t set up very often but when it is, it is huge! Today, going north-bound, I counted 9 cruisers, 4 motorcyles, and 2 SUVs that had someone pulled over, I saw 2 more cruisers sitting on the 151st street ramp waiting on their radios for a chance to pounce. And I saw all this with just One Pass! I’d be surprised if they didn’t have 20+ vehicles involved. They may be doing this today (or this week) to cash in on all the Kansas City traffic headed to Gardner for the Johnson County Fair. I wasn’t stopped. I’m putting this here because while I don’t have a problem with the service our public servants provide our communities, I do have a real problem with the predatory practice of speed traps.
