Alabaster, Alabama Speed Traps
smokey road
police have been sitting in the church parking lot or in someones driveway on robinson drive, right as the speed changes from 45-35
hwy 31 and thompson rd
Police will travel in the median of the highway, across all turn lanes and parallel to your car, for a long distance and freak you out. When you speed up to let them in or when you put your blinker on and get into the turn lane, they pull you over and ticket you. Very strange.
9th Street NW and 3rd Ave NW
Most mornings their is a car in the church yard watching 9th St NW (CR 95). Posted speed limit is 30 mph. About 1/2 mile north of here posted speed limit is 40 mph. Several folks get caught here every day.
10th St SW & 7th Ave SW
There is a big hill that you have to go down and they love to sit in the entrance of the park and get you or behind the garbage receptacle at the apartments on the other side of the road. It is nearly Impossible to do 20 down that hill.
Thompson Rd & Pacific Drive
Alabaster has 3 motorcycle offices. One of them hides at Thompson Rd and Pacific Dr. on the down side of a hill. The posted speed is 30MPH but at the top of the hill just 100 yards away it is 45 MPH. This is a real revenue producer. It’s all about Money.
