Poncha Springs, Colorado Speed Traps
All along US-285
Speed limit is 60. In two separate counties, I had a Sheriff’s vehicle follow me for 25 miles each. That’s a long time to follow a vehicle. I never exceed speed limit, so I was not worried, but still it’s unnerving for cops to follow you for that long in two separate counties. Nasty people, I tell ya. I will never take 285 again.
US Highway 285 between Poncha Springs and Buena Vista
2-4 deputies at night run this stretch instead of county roads. Speed limit is 60mph and you will be stopped
