Colorado Springs, Colorado Speed Traps
Dublin Boulevard near Vincent Drive
Dublin Blvd. between Vincent Drive and N. Academy Blvd. Residential area. Officers will park obscured on various side streets…by the time you see front fender of the marked car, it’s usually too late, unless you have a radar detection device to give advance warning.
N. Nevada Avenue near Austin Bluffs Parkway
There is always motorcycle cops parked on the right side of the southbound lanes before approaching Austin Bluffs. There is usually 2 cops talking and another 2 have people up the road extremely close to the intersection. Anytime I see these cops I always see someone being pulled over. This happens about 4-5 days a week.
Fountain Boulevard, east of Hancock
The Police position themselves on the North side of Fountain Blvd among trees. The simplest catch is those traveling eastbound, slight downhill on an unobstructed roadway with a posted limit of 35 mph.
Throughout the city
Like many cities, Colorado Springs has experienced a decline in normal revenue sources. Rather than reducing the budget, the city council and management have discovered that by investing in more police officers, motorcycles and speed detectors, and by lowering speed limits throughout the city, the recession can be turned into a revenue enhancement bonanza; ostensibly in the name of safety. Many six lane arteries are posted at 25 MPH. If you are a visitor, try to creep through Colorado Springs so that you don’t become part of the tax base; it’s no longer a driver friendly village.
Delmonico, just past the Rockrimmon intersection.
A cop sits in Waco ct tagging motorists who are going down the steep hill of Delmonico. It is a residential area and the posted speed is 25, but everyone goes 40 on it.
