Driving on Washington Ave (east direction from uptown SUNY campus), the speed limit is 45 mph, and becomes 30 mph about 200 yards before a red light, as one enters the ‘city’. There is a NY Police academy just half mile away, so expect many cops hanging around sipping coffee and eating donuts. Cops are always parked, hiding around the crossing of Washington Ave and Brevator St., and most people are doing 55 mph till they hit the red light. I got lucky when 4 cops pulled the 4 guys in front of me – all of us were doing 55 in a 30 mph zone. I know atleast 5 of my friends who have been ticketed there.
