Las Vegas, Nevada Speed Traps

Three motorcycle officers patrol the stretch of Bermuda between Windmill and Pebble. They aren’t particularly exploitative or predatory, but they are there in force nearly every workday afternoon rush. The road is limited for 35 MPH but should be a 45 MPH zone. I have Not seen them ticket drivers who were around 45, but over 45 will get you a citation.

If you see lights flashing, don’t consider yourself safe. There are at least two more traffic enforcers.

One motor unit hides and watches and then radios his other units from the South West corner. When speeders are not being caught, they also look for vehicles running the red lights. This is a high accident area and the Police are working TAR. (Traffic Accident Reduction) They usually get more red light runners than they do speeders. I like seeing them there. Usually there are at least four units working the area.

Usally 2 motorcycle cops sit at Bob Baskin’s park on W. Oakey Boulevard between Rancho and Valley View.

When traveling east on Elkhorn heading to Cimmaron there are almost always (especially on the weekends) motorcycle cops waiting on the south side of the street in the residential turn ins. Because it runs downhill from the 95 overpass you really have to pay attention to your speed.

Metro Motorcycle cops sit at the Big 5 store and watch for people running the stop light going North on Lamb. They are also located just North of Lamb Boulevard in the parking lot on near the Mexican Restuarant.
