Conifer, Colorado Speed Traps

EXTREMELY heavily patroled by the county and state. Due to the number of fatalities on this highway, they are ruthless. If you’re rolling downhill, get on the brakes, because they are usually waiting at the bottom of the hill. Ironically, the implied speed limit is 90+ west of Bailey to Fairplay.

Jefferson County Sheriff’s Deputy sits at the intersection of Log Trail and 285 with a radar gun pointed at northbound traffic. This is a 55 mph stretch of 285 and they will ticket motorists driving in excess of 62-63 mph.
