This is what is known as the "Southhills Loop" speedtraps. This particular speed trap is in the Elk Meadows area by Hillview Way and Clearview Way. The road is winding through a mild canyon where there is a speed limit change. People coming up the hill go from 35 mph to 25 mph at Elk Meadows. Beware! People coming down the hill thru this canyon area find it hard to keep it at 25 mph. 23rd is a stones throw away and so is Gharrett. That’s why the name: Southhills Loop. They mostly patrol during morning rush hour or on bright sunny days after Missoula has had a long string of stormy weather.
