Chattanooga, Tennessee Speed Traps
Pinewood Drive near Church
Pinewood Dr connects Gunbarrel and Jenkins Rd just before the rotary at the Gunbarrel/Standifer Gap intersection. Two officers park on the drive beside the church. Sometimes the limitedly visable car is unmarked. They run radar on foot, and unsafely step out in the middle of the road to flag you down. One office runs the radar, the other writes the tickets. The first time I went to court, Pinewood Dr had the most tickets on the docket. I stopped driving Pinewood, except on occasion, and everytime I go there is a trap set.
Interstate 24 near Broad Street
White Crown Vic Slicktop and unmarked sits and shoots radar from the right side of the road. It’s there just after you come out of a left hand turn where it goes from 2 lanes up to 5.
Dodds Avenue near In front of the Pro-Sew Shop. Corner of Bennett Avenue
The "White Van" parks at an angle at the corner of Dodds and Bennett to take a picture of speeders traveling North towards McCallie School from Main Street. 40mph limit.
Brainerd Road near Brainerd Tunnel
White van parks in grass outside Brainerd Tunnel on the downtown side and photos drivers tags going into the tunnel. A week later you get a speeding ticket in the mail.
State Highway Lee Highway near State Highway 153
on Lee highway just below the old Sam’s Club headed toward Ryan’s. There’s usually at any time of day , a cop sitting at Ryan’s or at the fruit stand doing radar . Sometimes theres even one of those white radar vans. I’ve also seen the radar car at Ryan’s doing the monitoring and radio another car ahead to stop the cars going toward 153.
