Charlotte, North Carolina Speed Traps

Van equiped with photo radar works both sides of Indenpence Blv. from Eastway Dr. to Sharon Amity. This is operated by private company, citation is sent to regestered owner of auto. Fifty dollar fine, not way to cotest does not go through court system. Same company operates stop light camers, same fine same system, money is split between private company and Charlotte City goverment.

The police car is backed up in a driveway at the corner of Montana Drive and English where the residential homes began. There are businesses up the street from the homes. Montana Drive was formerly I-85 Service Rd.

Two cops wait facing opposite directions in a day car parking lot to catch drivers who are coming in or going out of downtown. Speed limit changes from 45-35.

In between the Providence and 51 intersection and Providence High School there is sometimes a clearly marked police car parked in plain view on one of the side road for an apartment complex. A little further down the road about 2 miles or so there is an undercover Crown Vic, its either green or brown, and it is hidden from view in an entrance to the Berkley neighborhoods.

Marked unit sits in the parking lot of the Famous Kitchen rest. usually after dark. Car is all but impossible to see because there is no lightning in the parking lot. The speed limit is 35 there and I strongly reccomend doing no more than 5 over. He’ll get you going both ways, too.
