Jacksonville, Florida Speed Traps
Interstate 10 near Interstate 295
JSO or FHP car sits on the eastbound shoulder where the I-295 North ramp joins onto I-10 East. If you come off that ramp doing over 60, you just may get yourself a ticket. Problem is, I-295 is 65 MPH and I-10 at this point is down to 55. You may get by with a 60 MPH speed but above that, you’re on you’re taking a chance. He burns people all day, at will.
Southside Blvd. Bypass near Interstate 95
Both FHP and JSO sit on the Southside Blvd. overpass onto I-95 pointing their radar guns north onto I-95. Usually one or two officers are on the overpass with radars while a fleet of cars and motorcycles are waiting further south (just before US 1 exchange).
Interstate 295 near Interstate 95
I saw the trap as I was going from I-95 onto I-295. The police monitor the on ramp just as you are beginning to speed up to merge into traffic. Because this area is very congested during the week, this trap is only in effect during the weekends when not many cars are merging.
