Los Angeles, California Speed Traps

Today especially, lots of bikes and cruisers on this stretch of Wilshire, radar guns deployed, harvesting citations.

A motorcycle cop with LIDAR is on the southwest side of the intersection. There is a large tree on the north side of Chatsworth so one might not see him from afar. Plus he blends in with a tree with a very wide base behind him. This a favorite cherry picking site of the Devonshire Divison of the LAPD. Be safe!

CHP hides in the bus stations with radar guns. Watch that you do not go over 70mph.

If you are going south on Grand (it is one way in this stretch) there is a pedestrian crossing with a traffic light which blinks red lights. If you do not stop and treat this light as if it were a “stop sign” you may be ticketed. The officer is on the left side of the road–usually on motorcycle. During afternoon rush hour I see him more often than not.

Coming down from the hill on La Brea when you are approaching Coliseum, there is a motorcycle cop with a radar gun there. He says its a 40 mph zone but everyone is going beyond 50mph most of the time. I have seen him there on Saturdays in the morning or afternoon. He pulls on over and just as one car pulls off he already has someone else.
