Albany, New York Speed Traps

Across from memory gardens there is a treed community. Police will wait behind the trees in front of the neighborhood.

Patrol sits back off side off Central at Everet (south side)uses radar…work in tandem with Colonie PD slong central Ave/Rte. 5 corridor both directions as far as Rte. 155(west of Albany)

I-87 (both directions) just south of the Twins. Headed southbound, you clear the bridges then round the bend to the right as you climb a small hill. At the top of the hill is a U-Turn that is a favorite spot. They’ll see you long before you see them. By the time you’ve thought "Oh $#@!" they’re pulling out after you.

Westbound – Speed limit changes from 65 to 55 a little before the U-turn area, giving you little time to slow down. Especially during heavy traffic.

Eastbound – Again in the U-turn, you’ll find officers facing eastbound more at night.

Albany Road-rage cars have been sitting both east and westbound on the right shoulders before dawn. You train your sights on the U-turn (a previously recorded speed trap) and forget to look on the shoulders.
