Manhattan, Kansas Speed Traps
Denison Street near Jardine Terrace
Cops sit behind a dumpster next to the Jardine Apartments (red K-State Grad Student housing). They catch people not coming to a complete stop at the four-way stop signs on the corner of Jardine and Denison.
$80 fines for going 10 mph over
$120 fines for not coming to a complete stop
College Avenue near University Commons Apartments
Cops sit in a nearby parking lot and watch students leaving the University Commons parking lot. (A city stop sign is at one of the exits of the parking lot, but not the other one. Why?)
Anyway, cops like to ticket people for not coming to a complet stop even though it’s a five foot downslope to get from the parking lot to the road. Not a high accident/fatality area at all. Just a traffic cops paradise. Including court costs, it’s a $119 fine for getting stopped.
