Greensboro, North Carolina Speed Traps

Unmarked Police SUV’s (Black and White SUVs)and some marked and unmarked police cars. I new about this and still got nailed since my radar detector didn’t go off at all. Most NC State Troopers use Radar, not Laser. My detector detects laser as well, mine still didn’t go off.

The entire stretch of US-29 through the county is patrolled pretty steadily by VA State Police, they have an office north of Tightsqueeze. They tend to prey on out of state plates and are out more during the summer months. The speed limit on the road ranges from 45-65 with changes coming suddenly and in some unexpected areas so it’s valuable to keep a watch on the signs.

Unmarked vehicle will sit at the power substation just past the split with Benjamin Parkway. Watch your speed when coming down the hill from downtown.

Heading out of Greensboro into Sanford on 421, the limit is 45 mph when in actuality everyone usually drives about 55mph. It makes no sense to drive that slowly. It’s a ridiculous speed limit, and the day I got stopped, I noticed about 5 (five) other cars pulled over. They get you leaving the city and Also coming into the city. Just be careful, because the limit doesn’t actually go up until the first light After you have left the city. It jumps from 45 to 65! Be careful! They sit in the median, between the couple of trees there and get you the very second you come through past the McDonalds on MLK (which is what 421 is within city limits.) Be Careful!

From the 118 Mile Marker on I-85 to the old 124 Mile Marker (Randleman Road), I see police motorcycles, unmarked cruisers and marked and unmarked police tahoes with speeders stopped north and south bound. This is any time of the day. I work different shifts in Greensboro and they are parked using radar or VASCAR and moving to get you. I have also seen the motorcycles on the By-Pass around Greensboro. I notice these since I ride my personal motorcyle year round. It looks like the police ride all year too.
