In truth, all of Foster City is a trap. During the last week of a given month city police park themselves on side street a few feet back from the main arterial streets and wait. My husband was pulled over for wearing his seat belt too low on his shoulder. 2″ too low! No kidding! $160 fine.

The city needs revenue. If you don’t come to a complete stop for 20 seconds at an intersection, fail to use your blinker or go more than 2 miles an hour over the speed limit, you’ll get pulled over. There’s a school on the corner of Edgewater and Shell that starts at 7:50 am and lets out at 2:50 pm and you better take it down to 20mph (From 40mph) or they’ll get you.

The city is crawling with city police and they’ll pull you over if they’ve never seen you before, if they don’t like the car you’re driving, if you’re driving a sports car or a luxury vehicle.

Stay out off Foster City. Do your business and shop somewhere else. Go to Menlo Park or Palo Alto where they welcome you.
