Kennedale has had the reputation for being a speed trap since the 70’s.

Where else would you take a two lane highway, turn it into a 4 lane highway with center turn lane, and drop the limit 5MPH? Bus 287. Just outside of K-town and you are back to 55 and a two lane. The speed limits will go from 30 to 20 for no apparent reason, those are traps.

Police love to sit near the old Bloxom headquarters (287), Mansfield-Cardinal and Eden to watch for rolling stop, Fargo Bank, and radar up the hill from near Village Creek. Recently there is a lot of activity on the (287) access roads near Sublett.

Also they have a new color scheme, some are driving SUV’s with low profile lights that can be mistaken for a luggage rack on first pass.
