Arvada, Colorado Speed Traps

The police like to sit behind bushes at the top of the hill on Simms going south. Usually use motorcycles, and unmarked police cars. Will ticket for 37 and above.

South bound just as you go down the hill and under the RR bridge on the right side is often a cop. The speed limit is 40 so slow down as you approach the RR bridge as he’ll get you just as you pass under it.

Trap occurs where northbound Carr levels out after 1 mile uphill. If you do not take foot off of gas in time, you are caught. Also, southbound Carr has similar problem at top of Hackberry Hill.

Speed trap occurs when Kipling levels out after climbing up from Little Dry Creek. Officers are well hidden and cannot be seen until you are withing 150 feet. By then it is too late. Southbound Kipling is fine.

Officers park on north side of street on either Garrison or Garland and are well hidden. Sometimes they park by red wall on south side of 74th Ave. I live nearby and see at least 10 tickets per week. Speed is 30 MPH and they ticket at 35.
