Las Vegas, Nevada Speed Traps
Desert Inn Boulevard near Desert Inn Expressway
You must reduce your speed off the Desert Inn expressway because motorcycle cops sit in the parking lot to the right of the expressway and pull you over for speeding. If you are new to the area you will speed on the expressway and you will get pulled over. The speed limit is 45
Christy Avenue near Charleston Boulevard
Motorcycle police are hidden up all the little side streets the speed limit on the entire road is 25 this is really too slow.
Russell Road near McCarran Airport
On the newly made Russell Road, on the left side coming from the airport, there is a curve after Maryland Parkway where 2 motorcycle officers park on the sidewalk. It’s a dark area so you can’t see them well. They are there 2 days of the week and on Eastern and Russel the other days around 11:00p.m – 12:00a.m. The speed limit used to be 45 but has been lowered to 35. They are aggressive in ticketing, but well mannered because the airport is county owned and there’s no telling who they maybe pulling over!
Owens Avenue near Mojave
Metro motorcycle cops can be found in the morning running radar on Owens between the apartments behind the King Ranch Market down to Pecos, in both directions. They hide behind cars and on the side streets and there is multiple motorcycle cops, I have seen 4-5 on average.
Reno Avenue near Koval Lane
Oh, this is a doosey! If you are headed east across Las Vegas Blvd either from Hacienda Blvd. or Reno Ave., headed toward the north turn (becoming Koval Ln.) in front of the Executive Terminal of McCarron Airport–you’d better be doin’ the 25 posted speed limit! They’ve got a couple motorcylce units sitting in the parking lot of the professional complex on the south side of Reno holding radar. They call your plate to their buddy hangin’ around the bend (when the street turns north–becoming Koval), where they have a roadblock set up directing violators into the parking lot of the Executive Terminal, where they line you all up and print out tickets from a portable device. After they stung me, I actually complimented them on such an elaborate set-up. Needless to say, after paying my $350 ticket (11mph over), I definitely do the posted 25 to this day!
