Troy, New York Speed Traps

Usually park in the Pinewoods Entrance to the Emma Willard school. Seem to be targeting parents picking up kids from local schools as that is the time of day that I always see them. Per Troy, can be pled down to ‘parking on sidewalk’–Troy gets to keep 100% of non-moving violation money and only 50% of moving violations (rest goes to the state.) Beware of driving anywhere in Troy during fiscal crunches–it is not unusual to see more then 200 people at traffic court.

On Oakwood Ave, once it turns into 30mph from 45mph, there’s about 5 places where cops sit. Most of the time they’re by the gates to the cemetery, across from the Martin Luther King apartments entrance near some NiMo thing, or in the parking lot to the little pond. Been pulled over for doing 33 in the 30. Let go with a warning.

church parking lot across from bonfair just south of "ghetto" area on 2nd ave, troy pd commonly sits, sometimes theyre asleep, sometimes they arent.

Cops are parked immediately before driveway as you head south, behind a utility pole hidden by overgrowth. AND / OR – cops are parked immediately across from ML King driveway at a NiMo gas substation, hidden from northbound traffic view. Posted speed is 30, after traveling a 45 zone (southbound). Roadway is suited for higher speed. Classic trap with unlimited financial potential

Spring Avenue is a 30mph road that is on a 5% grade for 2 miles from the Eastside of Troy to South Troy. Police sit in lots and the Spring where people stop and fill there bottled water. Note*They will stop you if you are going over 30mph!
