Las Vegas, Nevada Speed Traps

motorcycle cops hid on side streets

Buffalo Drive is a major N/S boulevard in the Vegas valley. All the N/S and E/W major boulevards in the Vegas valley are posted at 45/mph, except Buffalo Drive between Sahara Ave and Charleston Ave., about a 6 block stretch, at which section the speed limit is 35/mph. Its the only small section in the whole valley (that I know of) that lowers the limit by 10 mph for a short stretch and then reverts back to 45. And, the sign which purportedly alerts drivers of the impending change in speed, is small and has been defaced for quite some time.

Police cars and motorcycles wait in entrance to park, and other locations along Rampart Blvd. Between Summerlin Parkway and Lake Mead Blvd. New School Zone postings make being ticketed a sure thing for unsuspecting speeders.

As you are heading east on Reno and looking directly at the airport executive terminal, Metro is in that parking lot on the right looking to write you a love letter.

Haulapai starts at 45mph by the time you get between Tropicana and Flamingo it drops to 25mph! Be warned. (Las Vegas – Clark County)
