Miami, Florida Speed Traps

Police hiding behind building to catch southbound traffic on N. Miami Avenue.

on the corner behind the living room building.

SW 27th Ave Southbound has 4 lanes (1 to turn left – east, 2 continue south, and one’s a right turn lane only). The light going south takes forever, and some people take the right turn lane and just switch over. For the past 3 months, City of Miami has two cops hiding at the Lincoln-Marti Private School (founder of it’s a political bigwig, was even a commissioner at some point, and I’ve never seen any kids there). The one cop will stand on the corner and just pull people over for what is essentially a safe manuever, and the other guy hiding in the school parking lot will sit in the car, run your plate and write the ticket. They easily get 4 or 5 cars every morning during rush hour. Clearly a revenue generator for Miami.

Motorcycle Police stand with a radar anytime after 9:30pm with a radar gun looking for north bound Bird Road.Speed limit is 40. Once you are at 45 they’ve nailed you. Dont try to talk your way out of this tickect. These motorcyle officers have no remorse.

This is a smooth one way street heading west bound, with no stop signs from NW 7th Ave to NW 17th Ave. The speed limit is 40 mph but 60 is do-able.The police sit in the exit area of Dade Memorial Park (Cemetary) NW 14th Ave, have an officer sit on the south side between 12th and 14th ave with radar clocking traffic and radio model and color to officers in trap area. Generally done between 10th and 20th of each month. Several groups of officers take turns to make their quota each month. Once their quota is made, the trap is no longer used, until next month.
