Sarasota, Florida Speed Traps
US Highway 41 Tamiami Trail South near New Marine on the right
South bound tripod and hidden cruisers on church driveway across from WENDY’S. Stay to limit(45) from the New Marina (as road bends left)until you pass the vamo road light. Once a month for those quotas. Thank you to all our officers for keeping the rest of us in line, cause you know they are real people too.
Interstate 75 near Exit Number 205
Going NORTH on I75 just past that bushy area but before exit 205 (Clark Rd.). At least TWO state troopers are always sitting there! They are looking for speeders going north and sometimes south.
Clark Road near Land Rover dealership
Cops stand outside the dealership and radar cars
Webber Road near Beneva Road
The police officers, and frequently wolf packs including motorcycle cops and unmarked vehicles (all they are missing are horseback) frequently sit in the median of Webber Road between Tuttle Road and Beneva Road, various times of the day, facing one or both directions, East and West. Posted speed limit is 35, easy to go well over that speed, particularly at low traffic times, and the officers are frequently not in view because of the many trees in the median etc.
17th Street near Tuttle Avenue
I have only had two speeding tickets in sarasota in 15 years and Both were at this intersection of 17th and tuttle. One was a motorcycle cop and the other was a police car, both sat in residential driveways waiting for me. Look Out!
