Las Vegas, Nevada Speed Traps

Just South of Tropicana Koval is used by a lot of locals and curves around to Las Vegas Blvd So. The posted limit is 25mph and they really mean it! There are a huge number of Cabs that use this as a "backroad" to get to the airport and there are plenty of motorcycle cops to nail you when you speed through here.

From 1 to 4 motorcycles will drop into the area on Hualapai between Flamingo and Tropicana. The speed limit is 45 mph north of Flamingo and 35 mph south of Flamingo. Since there is not a lot of traffic and only a small amount of retail shops the road is wide open and safe.

Mostly late PM and early AM hours northbound on Durango between the Summerlin Pkwy overpass and Vegas Dr. But I have seen motorist pulled over heading south on the same stretch. Sometimes two Metro bikers at a time will sit between parked cars or even in the driveway to the apartment complex. It is slightly down hill and school children wait for the bus at the entrance to the complex. A reservoir is on the west side with no cross streets. It’s an ideal stretch to open it up, but don’t suggest doing so.

South on Buffalo from Lake Mead is 45 MPH. At Charleston it changes to 35 MPH. Thers a park on the west (right) side and motor officers sit back in the entrances to the park and its like a ticket every 15 minutes.

Everyday police are hiding on side street off of Harmon/Decatur. They regularly pull over almost every car that is going WEST on Harmon. There is only one speed limit sign, and its posted on the corner near Flamingo, but no signs posted from Harmon to Jones. Beware!
