Harvey, Louisiana Speed Traps
On each side of Lapalco Blvd near Timberlane Estates
There are speed cameras on both sides of Lapalco Blvd. If you are headed towards Wall from Manhattan Blvd on Lapalco, it is right around the gated community gates. If you are headed towards Manhattan from Wall, it is just passed the Timberlane Country Club. The cameras are small, round, and white. They go so far as to swivel and track your car if you are speeding.
Destrehan Avenue near Lapalco Bridge
About 3 cop cars sit at this old beat up brown building on Destrehan right before you go over the overpass bridge that is right before you go under the Lapalco Bridge. One cop stands in the street and tags you, pulls you over and the other 2 or 3 cops write the tickets

Woodmere Subdivision
The main streets are 30 mph in the neighborhood but the smaller side streets are marked 20 mph. Currently due to many construction projects on the main roads, many people who usually take the main streets are taking the smaller side streets but not reducing their regular driving speed of 30 mph and are getting snared in numerous amounts by these predatory deputies.
